Visitors to Milton Keynes Hospital have been warned of some essential works taking place.
A spokesperson for Milton Keynes University Hospital tweeted today (27/6): 'If you are coming to the hospital today, we are undertaking some essential planned infrastructure works, ahead of the opening of our new Maple Centre later this year.
'The works will be taking place as you enter and exit the site from Standing Way.'
The new 'Maple Unit' has has been built in place of the original Pathway Unit. With 16 assessment rooms, the new unit aims to take the pressure off of the main A&E services.
Starting last Saturday 25th June, MK University Hospital has began work on essential infrastructure to take the Maple Centre online.
