About us
A community of half a million is eagerly anticipating the brand new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital which will be opening in 2024. It will be worth the wait. Its opening will be the beginning of a fresh chapter in our ambitious journey to be the nation's leading provider of integrated care. This new state of the art acute hospital in Grove Lane, Smethwick will bring together all acute services onto one site.
