Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is embarking on a series of ‘transformative projects’ designed to improve patient care, enhance facilities, and ensure that families receive the best possible support during their healthcare journeys. As Mica Moore, a Business Support manager at the Trust explains, these ‘innovative schemes’ aim to reflect the world-class treatments provided inside the hospitals, while creating welcoming, safe, and sustainable environments for all who visit.
At the heart of these initiatives is a focus on reducing anxiety, improving navigation, and fostering community engagement. The hospitals are working closely with patients, families, and advisory groups, to ensure that every improvement reflects their input and enhances their experience.
Sustainability is a key consideration throughout these projects. From using ground source heat pumps, to incorporating green spaces and recycling facilities, Birmingham Women's and Children's Hospitals is leading the way in creating environmentally friendly healthcare spaces. These developments represent a new chapter in patient care, where every visitor feels welcomed, supported, and empowered. With these projects underway, the hospitals are set to transform not only their physical spaces, but also the way that care is delivered, ensuring better outcomes and experiences for all.
This is a ground-breaking project, currently underway at Birmingham Children's Hospital, which is set to bring cutting-edge, charitably-funded, intraoperative MRI (iMRI) technology to our hospital for the very first time — a development that promises to transform brain tumour and epilepsy surgery for children, and provide life-changing reassurance for families. This state-of-the-art facility will revolutionise the way our neurosurgeons perform brain surgery, improving outcomes for young patients, and easing the emotional burden on their loved ones.
