Whipps Cross Hospital has launched a new initiative named 'Love Whipps Cross' with the objective of making its grounds cleaner and more welcoming. This campaign introduces practical improvements across the hospital site, which serves over 350,000 individuals in Waltham Forest, Redbridge, and parts of Epping Forest.
Site Enhancements Underway
The 'Love Whipps Cross' scheme involves the installation of 22 new waste bins and the introduction of water-refill stations. Hospital staff will also undertake improvements to pathways, weed removal, and lighting upgrades. The ultrasound department is repurposing an underused garden area into a more appealing space.

Rebuild Timeline and Context
This campaign is being rolled out while the hospital's full rebuild, initially pledged by the government in 2019, faces further delays. Construction for the new hospital facility is now anticipated to commence in 2032, with completion projected for 2036. This date is a revision from earlier plans that aimed for a 2030 completion.
Rob Speight, director of estates and facilities, stated that small improvements can significantly impact the experience of the thousands who visit the hospital weekly. He highlighted the hospital's location next to Epping Forest and expressed a desire to create a pleasant and welcoming environment. Speight also affirmed that the need for a new hospital building remains and that efforts to secure investment will continue. He added, "Until then, we’re determined to make the most of the hospital we have today and ensure everyone who comes here feels welcome from the moment they arrive."
