Oriel – Get involved

30 September 2020

Oriel is a partnership between Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, UCL and Moorfields Eye Charity. We need a new purpose-built centre to respond to the growing demand for eye health services.

We are planning to relocate the services of Moorfields Eye Hospital and the UCL Institute
of Ophthalmology from our current buildings in Islington to the St Pancras Hospital site in Camden. This would allow us to improve patient care and continue to be a world leader in eye health.

You can have your say in the following ways:
