The UK’s largest hospital is set to open this week after a nine day building effort.
NHS Nightingale, a temporary hospital housed in the cavernous Excel conference centre in London’s Docklands, will open its doors to a small number of patients this week before expanding to accommodate up to 4,000 people.
There are plans to build other medical facilities in Birmingham, Manchester, Harrogate, Glasgow, Cardiff and Llanelli in Wales and at a former prison near Belfast in Northern Ireland.
