Over the last few months, Frimley Health has made incredible progress towards narrowing down the potential new location of your new Frimley Park Hospital by undertaking a thorough site selection process. The hard work of our new hospital programme team has meant that we now have a number of preferred sites.

The site selection process so far

Our team is following a comprehensive site selection process to narrow down our search, which began in summer 2023 when we first asked a specialist land agency to identify a range of potential sites. Since then we’ve used various hurdle and technical criteria (such as a sites overall ability to deliver for 2030, its access and distance from current site being less than a five mile radius) and considered feedback from our recent engagement period. This has helped rule out sites that were unsuitable and find our preferred sites.

We are now undertaking a continued level of due diligence on our preferred sites before any further decisions can be made. Over the summer we will share the outcome of our due diligence process and take the necessary steps in securing our preferred site.

We’ve produced a short video on our full site selection process, explaining how we used this to find preferred sites and what our next steps will be.

We have also created a dedicated newsletter so you can find the latest updates and more about our site selection. In the latest issue we talk about:

• Why we need a replacement hospital
• The site selection process to date
• How we listened to stakeholder and public feedback
• Frequently asked questions
