Our #BehindtheBuilding campaign celebrates the people, partnerships and stories behind University Hospitals Plymouth's new £247m Emergency Care Building, focusing on the human aspect of the Future Hospital Programme and the wide variety of roles involved, not only in the design and construction, but also hearing from those who will be working in the new building once open.

I liaise with the City Council as well as the trustees on how they want to work with the site that they've been provided with.
