Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals are proud of the capital investments that have enhanced patient care through the development of new facilities.
Completed projects include the addition of modular theatre wards and inpatient wards, as well as a new Central Delivery Suite and Triage area within the Women’s and Children’s Hospital at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. At Montagu Hospital, construction has been completed on a new centre to house the Mexborough Elective Orthopaedic Centre of Excellence, alongside the redevelopment of existing clinical spaces to form part of the Montagu Community Diagnostic Centre.
Further work is currently underway at Bassetlaw Hospital to build a state-of-the-art complex for the Emergency Department, Children’s Assessment Unit, and Assessment and Treatment Centre, set to open in Winter 2024/25. At Montagu Hospital, a purpose-built Imaging Suite is scheduled to open in Spring 2025, complementing services at the Montagu CDC. Redevelopment at Doncaster Royal Infirmary is in the initial planning stage, with proposed works to expand and improve the estate, pending funding approval.
Bassetlaw Emergency Department and Children’s Assessment Unit
The development of the complex at Bassetlaw was completed in late 2024. Previously referred to as the Bassetlaw Emergency Village, it is now known by its respective services operating within the building; the Emergency Department, the Assessment and Treatment Centre and the Children’s Assessment Unit.

Other projects delivering improved spaces
The Trust is committed to renewing its estate where possible, as part of this there has been a range of developments over recent years. At Doncaster, additional ward areas and theatres were constructed adjacent to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital at DRI, offering modular built modern surgical facilities to complement the existing theatre suites within DRI.
At Bassetlaw, patient experience was improved through the refurbishment of theatre amenities and ward waiting areas within the medical unit. In addition to this, the medical imaging department at Bassetlaw Hospital will soon be renovated to accommodate an additional CT scanner suite, inclusive of clinical rooms and other areas to support service delivery.
