Barnet Hospital

Barnet Hospital is a major hospital in north London, providing general and specialist care. Every year the hospital treats over half a million patients from Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, East Harrow, South Hertfordshire, South Essex and Waltham Forest, offering high quality, specialist hospital treatments and therapies.

We were appointed to build an extension to Barnet Hospital, with the development financed through a PFI solution. The new wing spans 25,000m², and includes a new intensive care ward, a maternity ward, an emergency room, cardiology and orthopaedics outpatients’ services, a dispensary, and an analytical laboratory.

In February 2003, the extension was completed on time and opened by HRH The Princess Royal. The hospital now has 445 beds and provides a full range of acute medical services, including 24-hour accident and emergency care, intensive care, internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, orthopaedics, anesthetics, haematology, stroke medicine, dermatology, paediatrics and genito-urinary medicine, along with other services.

Bouygues’ subsidiary, ETDE, was awarded the 30-year contract for maintenance and management of the hospital, and is responsible for cleaning, laundering, catering, and patient transportation.

The architects for this project were: Percy Thomas Architects
