Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is proposing to relocate all the services currently provided at Moorfields’ City Road site in Islington, London (along with the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Charity) to a brand new integrated, purpose-built site on the St Pancras hospital site in Camden, London, subject to public consultation. This proposal is called Oriel.
The Trust’s ability to provide modern, efficient and effective treatment pathways is compromised on the current site due to the physical limitations of the historic building in City Road. The buildings at City Road, some of which are over 125 years old, are impacting negatively on patients and their experience at the hospital.
A new integrated site would enable the design and development of a purpose-built building that could enhance and improve patients’ experience and staff satisfaction, and support integration of clinical care, research and education; facilitating the development of new practice, new technologies and new models of care, which in turn could improve outcomes for patients, attract and empower staff, and accelerate scientific research and discoveries. Additionally, the St Pancras hospital site could offer better access for patients travelling from outside London, and improved transport links across the capital.
