Lister Hospital’s new main entrance has officially opened, creating a modern, welcoming and accessible entrance for patients, visitors and staff.
As part of wider improvements to the front of the hospital, the new entrance includes a Costa Coffee and Co-op, as well as additional office space for staff.
Local MP Kevin Bonavia officially opened the entrance on Wednesday 21 October, cutting the new ribbon alongside representatives from the trust, and construction partners Noviniti, Goldbeck and OneRetail.

Phase 2 of the project underway
Work has now started along the main Lister corridor as we continue to improve facilities for patients and visitors.
The improvements will bring a new Stock Shop – which will provide a range of clothes and gifts – and an additional Peabodys to the hospital, with work expected to be completed in December 2026.
The hospital will remain accessible throughout the work, including the Lister multi-storey car park, Lister Macmillan Cancer Centre, Pathology (blood tests) and all zones. Some areas may be busier than usual.
Any disruptions will be shared on the trust’s website and our social media channels.
You can take a look at a fly-through video of what the new corridor will look below:
Further updates on the build will be shared on this page.
