The newly built, state-of-the-art, Finchley Memorial Hospital is to be showcased on August 23.

Work on the community hospital in Granville Road is coming to an end so the hospital has organised an open day to give people the chance to tour the building, and to meet the staff.

The £28 million project has created a new purpose built hospital on the same site as the old hospital.

It aims to increase capacity and to treat people more effectively.

NHS Barnet will be moving a number of services into the new building, from the old one, including rehabilitation, a walk-in centre, outpatients, audiology and cardiology.

The old one will then be knocked down.

Dr Sue Sumners, Chair of Barnet CCG said: “This is an exciting time for patients in Barnet.

“The new Finchley Memorial Hospital is a fantastic purpose built building with up to date healthcare and new services for local people.” 

On August 23 there will be guided tours of the hospital from 10am until 7pm.

Free parking is available at the site.
