About us

A new hospital in the community

Local people in south Bristol have told us that they want to be able to access high quality personalised care, provided locally.

They have reminded us that they have campaigned for a local hospital for over 50 years and there is overwhelming support for the new South Bristol Community Hospital.

The new hospital will transform the way health care is provided in south Bristol by making services more responsive and accessible to the people who use them.

The NHS in Bristol chose Hengrove Park as the location for the community hospital because it is the centrepiece for regeneration in south Bristol. The hospital is a major focal point within the Hengrove Park development, which also includes a new skills academy and a new leisure centre.

The hospital will host a variety of different facilities and opportunities for the development of a strong long term relationship with local people. For instance, the new hospital will have conference rooms, opportunities for community events, a management group with representation from local people and an artist working with local people on commissions for the hospital to develop their creative skills.
