Vision to reality - 21st century patient care

Achieving our ambition to become the best biomedical campus in Europe, while also serving an increasing local population, recognises the need for campus development and expansion.

The existing campus extends to 70 acres but further development space on the site is limited. In 1999, the Trust, with its major partners the University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council (MRC), created a masterplan for the physical development of the campus - the 2020 Vision which sees an extension of a further 70 acres to support and enhance existing on-site activities and to create space for new opportunities.

The 2020 Vision recognises the Trust as an existing academic clinical centre but places it in the context of the developing Cambridge Biomedical Campus.

The Cambridge Biomedical Campus today.

The objectives of the 2020 Vision plans are to:

• expand local hospital service to meet population growth
• develop specialist services both regional and national - including space for the relocation of Papworth Hospital to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus
• promote and develop NHS and other clinical teaching
• promote existing public sector biomedical research
• allow for the expansion of other on-site clinical support services
• develop existing links with commercial clinical research to investigate new treatment procedures/protocols for the long-term benefit of patients in the Cambridge area, the UK and abroad.
