Accident and Emergency
Department Extension
Oxford University Hospitals, including the John Radcliffe Hospital, play an integral role in the life of the City of Oxford. How people travel to and from the campuses has long been a subject of high public interest, engaging staff, politicians, Council officers and the wider population of Oxford and Oxfordshire.
mode has provided advisory support to the Trust for over a decade, covering both Oxford and Banbury hospital campuses. A particular focus has been on shaping the evolving masterplan and Transport Strategy for the John Radcliffe Hospital campus, and supporting a series of significant Capital Projects delivered as part of this programme. These have included planning applications for the Ronald McDonald House Children’s Hospital, a new Accident and Emergency Department, an Adult Intensive Care Unit, a New Theatre Block, and associated supporting initiatives such as a temporary Multi-Storey Car Park.
Review and Preparation
Through this long-term partnership, mode has developed a deep understanding of the unique operational and spatial challenges of the John Radcliffe Hospital. This knowledge has enabled effective support across a wide range of planning requirement – from preparing Transport Assessments and Travel Plans, to discharging planning conditions, and representing the Trust in plan-making discussions with Oxford City Council.
The advisory role undertaken by mode has ensured that the Trust has been able to bring forward critical new healthcare facilities in a way that is both compliant with planning and transport policy, and sensitive to the transport pressures in and around Oxford. This has positioned the Trust to continue delivering high-quality healthcare services while navigating the complex transport context of a growing city.
