The final phase of the major multimillion-pound redevelopment reached completion with the opening of new, state-of-the-art operating theatres at Hexham General Hospital, marking a significant milestone for patient care and surgical services.

The newly opened theatres provide a larger, multi-purpose space, allowing the trust to deliver a wider range of procedures. Equipped with the latest technology, the facilities have been designed to improve efficiency, safety and the overall experience for both patients and staff.

The redevelopment programme, which has taken place over the past four years, represents a major investment in the future of local healthcare. The final phase focused on modernising surgical facilities to meet growing demand and support high-quality, modern care.

The theatres have been designed with patient comfort and staff wellbeing in mind, featuring improved layouts, enhanced infection prevention measures and advanced surgical equipment.
