Building works for the IGIS hub at GRH

Building work for the new IGIS Hub at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital will cause some disruption around the hospital site at times.

On this page

The new IGIS Hub at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital will establish a 24/7 hub for image guided interventional surgery, comprising interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional cardiology.

The IGIS Hub

The IGIS construction programme began in late 2022 and is expected to take approximately 18 months until fully complete. This will include:

  • 3x cardiac catheter laboratories
  • 2x interventional radiology suites
  • 1x Hybrid imaging theatre

Building works disruption

From 9 February to 12 February 2024

From Friday 9 February at 5pm there will be no vehicular or pedestrian access to the Atrium at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital until Monday 12 February at 10am.

This is to facilitate a large crane to come onto site to install some vital equipment onto the theatres roof as part of a theatres refurbishment.

Drop-off points for patients will be at the Tower Entrance or the Therapies Entrance. Access to the Emergency Department will be on foot on the path next to the helipad.

From 31 January to 2 February 2024

Cranage works will be ongoing between Wednesday 31 January at 4pm and Friday 2 February in the morning to install critical infrastructure for the IGIS Hub.

Parking outside the Atrium will NOT be available at this time. This may cause congestion around the site and you may wish to allow extra time to get to your appointments.
