Kensington Palace has announced that The Duke of Cambridge will visit Aintree University Hospital to formally open the new Urgent Care and Trauma Centre (UCAT) this month.
The £35m facility, which took four years to construct, is one of the most modern emergency centres in the country.
During his visit on Thursday 14th September The Duke will meet clinical staff from Aintree and its partner organisations, including the North West Air Ambulance. The Duke served as a pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance service from March 2015 until July this year. Prior to this he served for nearly five years as a helicopter pilot with the RAF’s Search and Rescue Force.
