We’re working with NHS Frimley to explore options to relocate Jubilee ward at Upton Hospital in Slough. This will ensure we can provide the best possible care patients in an accessible and sustainable way for the future.

Published 3 December 2024

Jubilee ward is an inpatient ward built in the early 1900s – it’s one of the last remaining ‘Nightingale’ wards, an open plan style pioneered by Florence Nightingale.

The ward provides essential short-term care and discharge support for patients with varied needs, including people living with frailty, long term conditions, dementia or reduced mobility.

To continue to meet all the current clinical and health and safety requirement, the type of patients admitted are now limited and bed capacity has reduced from 22 to 16.

The proposal

We would like to move Jubilee ward to St Mark’s Hospital, Maidenhead, alongside Henry Tudor ward, and improve the quality of care and experience for patients and staff.

This location also makes use of existing NHS space and will be fully refurbished to create a modern, welcoming, 22 bed ward. The aim is to have the ward up and running in its new location in spring 2026.

We want to hear from you

Listening and responding to patients, carers, staff and residents is a priority throughout the planning process.
