Manchester Royal Infirmary's (MRI) A&E is undergoing changes as a huge transformation of the emergency care facilities continues at the hospital. The MRI has changed its entrances temporarily in order to start the next stage of £40 million renovations - this is everything patients need to know if they are heading to the emergency department as work gets underway.
The pedestrian entrances for the emergency department (A&E) and urgent treatment centre have been temporarily moved to the other side of the hospital building as of May 17. Emergency department and urgent treatment centre patients, whether arriving by foot, car or taxi, will now need to use the new entrance.

Alan Grayson, Clinical Director at MRI Emergency Department said “The redevelopment of our emergency department is a huge, important long-term project that will modernise our facilities to best support the needs of our patients and help our staff provide the very best care.
