The way that the NHS space is used is changing. Some healthcare services are moving away from traditional hospital settings and moving closer to communities. This means that we need a more flexible approach to managing space, so that services can book the space they need, when they need it.

Find the right space for you
NHS Open Space provides access to clinical and non-clinical rooms from partners across the NHS.
Health, wellbeing and community services can book flexible and affordable rooms across England on an hourly, sessional or daily basis.
It’s pay as you go, so you only pay for the time and space you need, no lease required.
Growing the NHS Open Space community
Since launching our full service in 2019 we have grown the NHS Open Space community, welcoming users spanning NHS, private and community services, and reached over 450,000+ bookings that account for over 3m+ hours of vital service delivery.
Where can you find us?
We have significantly expanded our service, bringing the portfolio from 20 to 200 properties and spanning 1,200 rooms nationwide. We plan to further expand our portfolio in the coming year, so watch this space!

Let’s hear from our NHS Open Space users
“We have been using NHS Open Space rooms at Clevedon Hospital for a couple of months now, and I’m happy with the service. We had been searching for extra space for our audiology service as we’re seeing an increase in demand and are tackling a backlog, so this was a great solution." Finding and booking rooms on the booking platform is straightforward and I appreciate that I can do it on the go and at any time. It’s great to offer our patients a familiar NHS space where they can feel safe – I would definitely recommend NHS Open Space to other healthcare services.”
Angela Bull, Audiologist at Specsavers
