St Mary's Hospital Consultation

I am pleased to let you know that the next phase of consultation on the redevelopment of St Mary’s Hospital and the wider campus masterplan has now launched.

Full consultation materials can be found at www.imperial.nhs.uk/st-marys-development

Phase 3 shows how we have reflected feedback from the previous phases of consultation in our latest designs. That includes more detail on the experience patients, visitors and staff will be able to expect, the expansion of our life sciences campus, new public spaces and landscaping, and how we plan to reflect St Mary’s legacy of discovery and maintain its heritage.

There are several ways to find out more and have your say. You can find details of all events on our website: Have your say. https://www.stmarys.imperial.nhs.uk/have-your-say/have-your-say

New consultation hub

Patients, staff and the public will be able to drop in to a dedicated consultation hub, at Paddington Square, 128–142 Praed Street, London W2 1DL. The hub will be open two afternoons a week through October and November, providing access to the plans, consultation materials and our redevelopment team. Opening times are available on our website.

Please share your feedback by completing our survey by 31 October. I have also attached a flyer with further information, and some images of the designs, and would be very grateful if you could share these with colleagues, members of your network, or other contacts who may be interested.

Help shape the future of Westminster Libraries & Archives

What should Westminster's Libraries & Archives look like in the future? We're inviting residents, library users, community groups and local stakeholders to share their views through our new public survey and programme of community forums. Their feedback will help us understand what's working well, what could be improved, and what matters most to local communities.

Community forums will be taking place across Westminster libraries throughout October and November, giving residents the chance to join the conversation in person.
