Hospital will be inspired by rivers and castles
A hospital undergoing building work will take inspiration from its county's natural beauty, bosses have announced. Members of the public are being asked to share their views as The Royal Shrewsbury undergoes a four-storey expansion, as part of major plans from an NHS trust to transform two hospitals. The Royal will become the main emergency centre and take over consultant-led women and children's services as the Telford Princess Royal loses its A&E. Additions to the Shrewsbury hospital will include a new women and children's ward, an acute medical floor and an intensive care ward. On Friday, the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) said it wanted new facilities to "reflect communities". People are being asked to vote on a preferred palette and theme for the upgrades, based on either rivers, castles, hills. "We want the locations and departments to reflect our communities and points of interest across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin and mid Wales," the trust said. Colour schemes could be based on the Shropshire Hills, resembling things like moorland plants and trees. Ed Rysdale, the clinical lead in charge of the project, previously sought to reassure patients while the work was under way. "Our staff... are going to be understanding that there is a lot of change," he said. "Don't worry, don't panic, you will get to your appointment and you will be seen." The work is expected to be completed in 2028. Follow BBC Shropshire on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.
