Nuffield Health<\/a> at St Bartholomew has reached its halfway point, a significant milestone in the construction progress of the independent hospital development<\/h2>\n

Nuffield Health has partnered with Barts Health NHS Trust<\/a>, leasing the former pathology and residential staff quarters buildings, to give patients access to some of the most experienced and skilled consultants in the world, supported by cutting-edge technology in comfortable, welcoming surroundings providing access to a wealth of great resources.<\/p>\n

Nuffield Health CEO Steve Gray and Kier<\/a> project manager, Peter McStay marked the halfway point of the hospital development by placing the first Portland stone slab which will make up the rear fa\u00e7ade of the historic building<\/a> in Giltspur Street near Smithfield Market.<\/p>\n

The independent hospital will feature 48 bedrooms, four state-of-the-art operating theatres and 28 consultation rooms, and will specialise in cardiology, cardiac surgery, oncology and orthopaedics, and other surgical and medical specialities.<\/p>\n

The \u00a365m building will also provide physiotherapy and diagnostics and will complement Nuffield Health\u2019s 35 consumer fitness and wellbeing clubs, 63 on-site corporate gyms and 150 GPs in its catchment area, which will refer patients to the new hospital.<\/p>\n

Peter McStay said: \u201cThis project is vital to the City of London and I\u2019m pleased we have reached this major milestone in the construction of the building, taking us one step closer to delivering modern, efficient and patient-focused healthcare facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Gray said: \u201cI\u2019m pleased to mark this construction milestone today but also to see the solid progress towards opening the City\u2019s first independent hospital in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cSt Bartholomew\u2019s has such rich history, having been responsible for numerous medical breakthroughs since it began in 1123, and we are delighted to ensure these two redundant buildings will once again be centres of quality healthcare as St Bartholomew\u2019s celebrates its 900th\u00a0anniversary in a few years.\u201d<\/p>\n

St Bartholomew’s Nuffield Health is to open in the spring of 2021.<\/p>\n

St Bartholomew\u2019s heritage<\/h3>\n

Since works began, archaeologists from the Museum of London Archaeology<\/a> (MOLA) have examined the historic site in detail and preparatory works have been undertaken. The former pathology building has been demolished with the exception of the fa\u00e7ade, which has been retained.<\/p>\n

The matching Portland stone being used to build the new facades was selected to reflect the historic importance of the site and its surroundings; it is essentially the same stone used by James Gibbs in 1738-69 to construct the adjacent Grade 1 Listed St Bartholomew\u2019s Square, and by Sir Christopher Wren before that in many of his famous London churches.<\/p>\n

Reviving the two buildings to create state-of-the-art 21st century medical facilities, whilst retaining the grand facade of the pathology building and working on a site constrained by other historic buildings<\/a> which make up the hospital founded in 1123, is a complex engineering project but the construction remains on schedule.<\/p>\n
