New Royal Liverpool Hospital move to finally begin as date confirmed

The long-awaited move of staff and facilities into the new Royal Liverpool Hospital will begin at the end of September.

New images released today show how the state-of-the-art building is finally close to being ready after a gruelling period of delays and problems. The Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has confirmed that the move from the current Royal site to the new building will begin from September 28.

The trust will begin its 24-day move plan that will see staff, patients and services move across to the new building in a phased approach, with the move complete by October 21, 2022. The news comes as the Trust took partial possession of the building from construction partners Laing O’Rourke this week. This is an important step forward for the project which allows the trust to start the final phase of work to prepare for moving patients and staff across to the new hospital.
