We can now share the latest construction completion and opening dates for Silverwood, our new Mental Health Inpatient Service on St. Peter’s Hospital campus in Chertsey.
Despite severe storms and above-average rainfall at the start of this year which significantly affected progress, the building’s construction will be completed by the end of 2024 and is due to open in early 2025. The service will open slightly later than planned due to these external factors and a decision to enhance the building’s cooling solution.
Preparation for this new service remains focused on a smooth and safe opening with a sustained focus on our recruitment efforts. Regular checkpoints remain in place to monitor construction progress until the building is complete and ready to open. Progress will continue at pace in the coming months, and we remain dedicated to delivering Silverwood to the highest standards.
Graham Wareham, Chief Executive of our Trust said: “Our ambition to establish a state-of-the-art mental health inpatient service in Chertsey is a cornerstone of our Trust's strategic vision. It will make a tremendous difference to the people who need our care at the most vulnerable times in their lives. It’s a hugely exciting project.”
