Work begins on new hospital facility

Long-term ill can enjoy new hospital pod

A new space for young people with chronic health conditions is to be built at Noble's Hospital.

Charity Bridge the Gap is behind the BTG Pod initiative, which is the result of four years of planning.

Construction work is due to begin next week.

Located in the grounds of the hospital, the Pod will serve as a 'peaceful' recreational zone for teenagers and young adults who have long-term needs.

Donations are still being accepted via bridgethegap.im.
