Moving to new facilities is common in today's health service because of mergers, the restructuring of units and improvements in service delivery. Central to the success of such relocation projects is the involvement of clinical teams. This article describes the various stages of a successful relocation of an emergency unit in London, and its co-location with a newly created polyclinic. It also describes the experiences of one of the members of the clinical team.
