Take a virtual stroll through new Midland Metropolitan Hospital - WATCH
A new video has revealed how the inside of the Midland Metropolitan Hospital will look when the £350 million building opens its doors to patients.
The video also includes interviews with those involved in the 'super hospital', set to open in Smethwick in 2018.
It pans through artist's impressions of the site, including the emergency department reception and the main entrance leading to a spacious reception.
Speaking in the video, Dr Sarb Clare, lead clinician and consultant in acute medicine, said: "It's the culmination of over 10 years of hard work by our management and our clinicians. Together we're bringing two acute sites, Sandwell Hospital and City, where if you are acutely unwell you will be seen by some of the best doctors in the world."
The new hospital will have 670 beds and 15 operation theatres, as well as brand-new diagnostic equipment.
Its A&E will replace emergency care facilities at City Hospital, while Sandwell's General's A&E will become an urgent care centre.
Dr Clare added: "Midland Met will be a real leader on how healthcare should be run."
Also on the latest video is Raffaela Goodby, director of organisation development at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust, who highlighted how the hospital will result in the creation of more homes and jobs.
