This extension is expected to enhance staff and patient circulation while minimising waiting times for patients.
The project, which was designed by Gilling Dod Architects, is set to provide two new bed lifts along with two new staircases in the southern part of the Christie Hospital.
According to planning documents for the project, the approval by Manchester City Council will “improve circulation and enable the applicant to better utilise its available theatre capacity”.
