News - 10 April 2025

Camden Council has approved plans to construct two new vascular theatres at the front of the Royal Free London Hospital, to help treat patients with certain heart problems.

The work will involve extensions to the hospital's second and third floors. The hybrid theatres will be equipped to conduct open surgery as well as having x-ray facilities for interventional radiology procedures.

The aims of the project are to reduce waiting times for cardiovascular surgery and improve outcomes for patients' heart health. To find out more, see the Royal Free's priorities for cardiovascular services,
