Rendering of Oriel entrance The Wolfson Foundation has awarded £5 million to UCL for Oriel, the new integrated UCL-Moorfields Eye Hospital centre for advancing eye health. The £5 million grant for Oriel will increase the speed of research breakthroughs in eye health and help to overcome eye healthcare inequalities, by bringing researchers and clinicians from the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Hospital together under one roof for the first time. Oriel is the joint initiative between Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Charity that will see services move from their current premises near Old Street, Islington to part of the St Pancras Hospital site in Camden. The purpose-built, integrated building will enable patients to experience the best care and participate in cutting-edge research first-hand. Researchers, clinicians, educators and innovators will have the opportunity to collaborate across disciplines, to share expertise and approaches, all in partnership with patients. This close collaboration will increase the pace at which new discoveries and treatments are developed and will benefit patients in London, the UK and internationally. Oriel will also create new flexible learning space, ensuring practitioners stay at the cutting edge of new technologies, simulations and imaging, and supporting the next generation of clinical practitioners and new innovations.
