Project Brief
We have been working with University Hospital Sussex NHS Trust to upgrade buildings across their Trust, to improve staff and patient experience.
The Royal Sussex County Hospital required an update to their Urgent Treatment Centre to provide additional clinical treatment space within the emergency department to support critical patients, and improve the environment for patients and staff.
Project Solution
Procured via Scape, we used modern methods of construction to create a two-storey modular build outside the main A&E department. Groundworks, piling and foundation works were completed in preparation for the delivery of the building’s modular shell. An internal fit out of the building ready for clinical use was also carried out.
Completed within a live hospital environment, the refurbishment provided five ground floor treatment rooms, a new reception waiting room, accessible toilets and a utility room. There are offices and a training suite on the first floor, a comms room, and multifunctional office space.
Project Outcome
- Creation of a urgent treatment centre through modular build outside main A&E
- Increased capacity within the main A&E for patients
- Improved patient flow through all parts of the department
- Minimise the pressure the NHS is currently under
- Increased capacity to support critical patients in A&E
