Chance for Maidenhead residents to have say on future of Royal Berkshire Hospital

The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust will be holding its first community lunch event at Maidenhead Community Centre in Marlow Road on Friday, January 27 from 11am to 1pm.

Building Berkshire Together is the new hospital programme for the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.

The trust is visiting communities across a wide area, asking for views about the options for either the redevelopment or relocation of the hospital to ensure that the plans meet the needs of staff, patients, visitors and local communities.

The programme will be holding a series of community engagement events for residents to be
updated on the progress of the proposed redevelopment or
relocation – part of the Government’s New Hospital Programme.

Alison Foster, programme director. said: “It is a complicated process and we want to make sure we have the latest intelligence about what health services the local population would like to receive.

“We are working hard to reach every corner of Berkshire and South Oxfordshire to speak to communities who will use and
benefit from a modern, fit for purpose, healthcare facility to deliver excellent clinical care.”

Anyone wishing to attend the free event can call 0118 322 6607 or email bbt@royalberkshire.nhs.uk to reserve their space.
