To be built on the site of an old part of the hospital that has been empty since the creation of the new Pain Management Unit at Montagu Hospital, the new rehabilitation centre will provide personalised programme of intensive therapeutic care. The vacant blocks are being demolished before the site is ready for the construction work.

For patients to be involved in daily activities, the new unit will include kitchen facilities and relaxation areas.

Capita Symonds is designing and project managing the construction of the new hospital. The project is due for completion by summer 2013.
