New Milton Keynes Hospital Main Entrance officially opened

    The new Main Entrance at Milton Keynes University Hospital was officially opened this morning at a special event attended by many local community leaders.

    City MPs Mark Lancaster and Iain Stewart were amongst the attendees, with representatives from the Hospital also attending.

    The new entrance is located outside the main outpatients building, opposite the multi-storey car park. The building offers a Costa Coffee shop, a Subway restaurant and a Little Fresh – a convenience store that will offer seasonal products – as well as an additional seating area with 80 chairs.

    Patients and visitors will further benefit from a manned reception desk, a Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) lounge and an Information, Advice and Support Centre provided by Carers Milton Keynes and Age UK Milton Keynes.

    MKUH Chief Executive Joe Harrison praised the development as an important milestone in the hospital’s future, saying: “I am delighted with the new main entrance and the improved facilities that will be available for patients, visitors and staff. It is important that we are able to offer all users of the hospital a welcoming, modern and well serviced main entrance into the hospital and this building provides that.

    “The new main entrance will also create a central service to support with patients and visitors in finding hospital wards and departments quickly and easily, with support if needed, making sure their experience is as good as it can be from the very beginning."
