A new £15m healthcare ward coming to Gorleston's James Paget University Hospital will offer a glimpse of the site's future.

In 2020, the hospital was selected to be one of 40 new hospitals built across England by 2030.

The concept ward is currently being built at the north end of the hospital grounds. It will provide a blueprint for how inpatients will receive care at the new James Paget.

The latest stage has seen four modules being delivered and installed to form a link corridor between the concept ward and the main hospital building.

Modules forming the main ward area were installed in December. At the end of January, 11 roof modules were installed, which will house the mechanical and electrical equipment required to run the ward.

A James Paget spokesperson said next steps include fitting the ward's interior.

Once completed, the ward will have 28 beds - two four-bed bays and 20 single bedrooms with windows, en suite facilities and space for visitors to stay.
