In a milestone moment this week The QEH helipad was permanently relocated to a purpose-built site on the opposite side of the road along the B1145.
This significant step paves the way for the new multi-storey car park (MSCP) due to be begin onsite later this year, which will allow for the New QEH to be built on the current main car park.
The new facility has been generously funded through a donation by the HELP Appeal, the only charity in the country dedicated to funding NHS helipads, which has donated £516,000 to cover the entire cost of the new QEH helipad.

Construction work on a displaced parking area by the former helipad is progressing well.
This project, which began at the start of January, will see the creation of a 58 new parking spaces.
This new parking area is an essential part of plans our new MSCP and will allow for construction to begin in mid-2026. The MSCP is the key enabler for our New QEH, allowing the new hospital to be built on the current main car park.
These new parking spaces are part of the planning requirements for the MSCP to replace the spaces which will close when construction begins.
Construction of these additional spaces, being undertaken by RG Carter, is expected to complete in the middle of February when work will begin on the new bus stop opposite the Community Diagnostic Centre at the main entrance of The QEH site.
