The latest designs and plans for our new hospital will be on view at a series of public events being held in the next few weeks – and you’re invited to come along to learn more.
Our vision for ‘Future Paget’, the new James Paget hospital that will be built on our existing hospital estate, will give you the opportunity to see some of the plans for how the building might look, where it will be situated and more about the plans for the site.
The new James Paget hospital is being delivered through the national New Hospital Programme, with an allocated budget of £1-1.5 billion to complete the project. The James Paget is one of seven hospitals that require replacement due to having been constructed primarily using Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), and will be prioritised in the programme.
The vision for the new hospital will help deliver state-of-the-art facilities to improve patient care and overall experience, help attract staff to careers in health and care, and provide high quality care that meets the needs of our future population.
Jo Segasby, Chief Executive at James Paget Hospital, said: “We are delighted to share our vision for our new hospital, which gives our patients and communities a feel for what ‘Future Paget’ could look like.
“At this stage of planning, these are not our finished designs – and we need residents across Gorleston, Great Yarmouth and Waveney to give their feedback.”
Situated to the west of the current James Paget, the new hospital has a provisional size of 114,469 square metres and around 600 beds for patients, and incorporates single rooms for all patients on wards. The hospital will feature a new entrance from the west, with a new multi-storey car park and additional parking spaces across the site.
We are sharing our vision to gather the views of staff, patients, the public and stakeholders ahead of submitting outline planning application to Great Yarmouth Borough Council later in 2025. This application provides an outline of the scale and position of the future hospital design, which will be refined further through the planning process.
You are invited to attend one of our open events, being held in Gorleston, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, to view our plans and to give your feedback.
