Estate Modernisation Programme latest
Get up to speed on this month's developments from the Trust’s Estate Modernisation Programme (EMP),
EMP is one key part of the Trust's Integrated Programme and is delivering new mental health facilities alongside main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine and master developer Springfield and Tolworth Estates Partnership as part of a new 'Springfield Village'.
As part of this, works have been progressing at pace on the development of two new facilities at Springfield University Hospital. Set to be delivered in 2022, these will help us to deliver the most modern mental healthcare in the country.
Overall the Programme represents major innovation and investment in our local communities - by 2024 it will help transform mental health services in south west London.
February/March 2021
Together with our construciton partners STEP and Sir Rober McAlpline, the Trust has launched a new programme of activities for local schools to take advantage of learning opportunities linked to the development of Springfield Village.
This includes work experience opportunities, a competition to design a youth 'hangout' shelter in the new park, and submitting artwork to brighten up the green hoardings on site at Springfield.

Director for the Integrated Programme, Ian Garlington, kicked off the year by sharing his thoughts on the progress to date in the first of a new blog series hosted here.

New structures are sprouting up at Springfield and various areas of the grounds are being secured to make way for modern inpatient facilities that are fit for purpose; giving people the best chance to recover in the best environment. The new facilities will support staff to deliver outstanding care and will be sustainable for the NHS for generations to come.
We also welcome Ian Garlington as the Trust's new Integrated Programme Director.
