Two Greater Manchester hospitals are set to benefit from millions of government funding which will include a total redevelopment of the North Manchester General Hospital site.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a huge cash injection of £3.7bn into the NHS on Friday.
North Manchester General Hospital and Salford Royal Hospital, along with 38 other hospitals across the UK, will benefit from a share of the sum.
Salford Royal is set to be turned into a new, non-elective high acuity hospital to support the existing Greater Manchester Major Trauma Service.
Now, bosses at NMGH have spoken of their delight at the funding boost, and say a new sustainable campus will be built at the site focussing on training and jobs for people in the area.
Manchester City Council, Manchester Health and Care Commissioning and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust are said to be working together to create a vision for the project.
The £54m funding bid for the NMGH revamp was made through the Department of Health and Social Care’s Health Infrastructure Plan, an initiative to invest in replacing and improving healthcare facilities.
The works will see improvements such as a multi-storey car park and temporary accommodation for admin staff, with preparation activity to go ahead this autumn.

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust have said that once the blueprint and final funding for the redevelopment of the hospital site is agreed in early 2021, the rebuilding work can begin.
Sir Michael Deegan, Chief Executive of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We have an ambitious vision to improve health and wellbeing for communities across North Manchester over the next 10 to 15 years.
“This initial £54m investment will enable the massive rebuilding programme to begin sooner and reduce the overall time it takes to complete.
“Regeneration of the NMGH site is fundamental to tackling the high levels of ill-health and disability affecting local people, delivering once in a generation, transformational change.”
The current site is said to be in ‘desperate need of rebuilding’ after independent assessments identified that over 70% of the existing estate needed an overhaul.
The vision for the redevelopment - known as the Strategic Regeneration Framework - is to create integrated health and social care facilities, high quality new homes and access to better education and training, alongside more inviting public open spaces.
Sir Richard Leese, Leader of Manchester City Council, added: “This is a vital and very welcome step along the road to delivering a transformed North Manchester General Hospital.
"The importance of this project to the city cannot be overstated. Not only will it improve patient care and services but it will also support health and wellbeing in the wider area.
"The huge investment in this scheme will contribute to the city's economic recovery from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and create employment and business opportunities for people in the area. It will be a real catalyst to regeneration."
At Salford Royal, a new, non-elective high acuity hospital will be built at Salford Royal, to support the existing Greater Manchester Major Trauma Service.
It will be home to Salford Royal’s trauma centre, which treats patients who have experienced life-changing or life-threatening injuries.
The 'Acute Receiving Centre' will also be the hub site for complex general surgery across Bolton, Salford and Wigan.
The new building will have 72 new in-patient beds, five new theatres and other new facilities including treatment rooms and X-ray areas.
It will also have a helipad.
The re-building comes as part of the government's Health Infrastructure Plan, which will see 40 hospitals benefit from the investment. Four of those are in the north west and also include Royal Preston and Royal Liverpool hospitals.
All plans are all due to be built and completed by 2030.
Royal Preston Hospital and Lancaster Royal Infirmary will be replaced with either one or two hospitals, complete with three urgent care hubs, and three out of hospital hubs.
Royal Liverpool Hospital, run by Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, will be re-built under the latest plans.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "The dedication and tireless efforts of our nurses, doctors and all healthcare workers have kept the NHS open throughout this pandemic.
"But no matter what this virus throws at us we are determined to build back better and deliver the biggest hospital building programme in a generation.
"From Morpeth to Milton Keynes, we are building 40 new hospitals across England to level up our NHS so more people have top-class healthcare services in their local area."
Chief Accountable Officer at Manchester Health and Care Commissioning, Ian Williamson, said: “This is great progress and shows what we can achieve when we work together, as partners, towards a common aim.
“This news, and the changes the money will bring, is another sign to staff, patients and local people of our determination to deliver improvements for them.”
Neil Thwaite, Chief Executive of Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust said: “This is very positive news which will provide opportunities for improved joint working and communication between acute, mental health and health and wellbeing services for the benefit of the residents of North Manchester, as we also replace Park House with a high quality modern mental health service facility on the site.”

Manchester City could only draw with Leeds at Elland Road this afternoon despite Raheem Sterling's opener.
City have won one and lost one of their opening two Premier League fixtures, with the defeat to Leicester last weekend exposing their injury problems and defensive weaknesses. Since then, though, Pep Guardiola has been boosted by the return of Aymeric Laporte and the record signing of Ruben Dias.
The game also sees Guardiola come up against Marcelo Bielsa, who he described as the person in football he has the most respect for in his pre-match press conference.
Both Dias and Laporte started at Elland Road, with Guardiola making two changes from the side that beat Burnley. Dias replaced Fernandinho, while Phil Foden came in for Cole Palmer in midfield.
City took the lead through Raheem Sterling after a bright start, but Ederson was needed to make two big saves as Leeds threatened at the end of the first half. Ederson waas at fault though as he dropped a corner allowing Rodrigo to equalise, and City couldn't find a winner.

"Science will ride to our rescue eventually - but this is our best way of tackling it at the moment."
New figures showed the R number across the country is continuing to creep up.
The data released by the Government Office for Science and the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) shows the estimate for R for the whole of the UK is between 1.3 and 1.6.
Last week, the R number was between 1.2 and 1.5.

A heat map generated by PHE clearly shows a cluster in the area - with Benchill North and Sharston on the Manchester side of the border completing the picture.
Only Heaton Moor, in the north, and Davenport - south of the town centre - also saw double figures, with both areas registering 10 cases.
The numbers are nowhere near as high as regional hotspots - the student area of Fallowfield in Manchester saw an eye-watering 209 cases over the same period - but the west of the borough has been a cause of concern over recent weeks.
The reason why remains something of a mystery, however, as higher rates have not been linked to any specific outbreak or event.
Coun Iain Roberts, who represents Cheadle and Gatley, said: “There’s nothing we have particularly been able to find. It’s not particularly linked to schools as the increase happened before the schools went back.
“Unfortunately, we have asked the question but no one has been able to come up with a particularly good explanation.”
Stockport, like the rest of Greater Manchester, remains on ‘red alert’ due to its infection rate and saw some restrictions reimposed last week.
Public health chiefs will take some encouragement from the fact cases remain low across much of the borough.

Here are six current United players who could benefit from the transfers United are likely to make before the October 5th deadline:
Mason Greenwood
Numerous claims have been made over United's pursuit of Sancho, most of them coming from Borussia Dortmund pillars of power insisting he will not be sold. Yet many former United players in the media have claimed that Sancho should not be a priority, given Mason Greenwood's development on the right-wing in the past year or so.
It appears United still want a right-winger, even if it's not Sancho, hence their interest in Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele. But if the deal for the Frenchman is just a loan, it should not impinge Greenwood's development like the permanent addition of Sancho would.
Greenwood has just turned 19 but is already a well-deserved first team player. The competition of another right-winger is a wise move, given Greenwood can play both there or centrally, but the homegrown academy star must be allowed to continue his stunning rise.
Eric Bailly, Axel Tuanzebe and Teden Mengi
Chris Smalling's permanent exit to Roma and the fact United are not likely to sign a new centre-back this summer, having invested heavily in Harry Maguire a year ago, has prompted concern from many.
Former United star Dimitar Berbatov has been among those calling for a major central defensive addition, while Rio Ferdinand has named RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano as the ideal target. Yet United's stance is understandable, having seen some improvement from Maguire and Victor Lindelof as a pairing last season.
But with Lindelof beginning the season in shaky fashion, it may not be long before a quicker and more physical centre-back is called upon. Axel Tuanzebe is probably the fastest centre-back at the club and, if he can stay fit, is a huge prospect. Bailly has had similar fitness problems but is a natural defender and arguably a better option than Lindelof already. Both need to step up.
If not, there is Teden Mengi, the highly-rated 18-year-old central defender who could be another to bolster the first team this season. Mengi has belied his years with some excellent performances in the Under-23s in the past 12 months and, having had a taste of first team football.

Brandon Williams and Ethan Laird
Even if United complete the deal for Telles from Porto, there is a sense that Williams could thrive. Let's not forget he has played the majority of his football at Old Trafford on the 'wrong' side, being forced to cut in on his right-foot rather than probe on the outside like a naturally left-footed player.
Diogo Dalot's loan move to AC Milan opens up a spot behind Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the club's second choice right-back. It may be a role for Williams to relish, ideal for his development to continue and to make himself a more attacking alternative to the former Crystal Palace star.
Solskjaer is a fan of Williams, so even if a new left-back is acquired, it is unlikely that the Harpurhey-born academy product will be ditched.
But if he's not considered for the reserve role on the right of defence, 19-year-old Ethan Laird may grab it with both hands. United may have been criticised for a lack of transfer activity, but their promotion of academy stars is commendable. We could see more of that this season, depending on what the final few days of the window have in store.
