A variety of hospital refurbishments and renovations have been completed by Kier and Tilbury Douglas across south England, with the renovation of Haywood Community Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent to also be delivered by Tilbury Douglas.
Refurbishment of Rutland Memorial Hospital honours heritage features
Tilbury Douglas has successfully completed the £1.5m refurbishment of Rutland Memorial Hospital, on behalf of Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust.
Procured via the P22 Framework, the project included remodelling the 18-bed inpatient rehabilitation ward, as well as replacing old boilers and wiring, removing asbestos and installing new sections of the roof to prevent leaks.
In addition, the staff room and staff kitchen have been fully upgraded and now feature a staff changing area.
Simon Butler, managing director Building Central at Tilbury Douglas, said: “As one of the oldest buildings owned by the Trust, we worked closely with all key stakeholders to ensure we delivered a modern facility whilst respecting and restoring the original features of the site, which dates back to 1924.”
Kier recently celebrated the refurbishment of Hythe and Dibden War Memorial Hospital
Representatives from NHSPS joined members of a local community in the New Forest recently as they came together to celebrate the official opening of the new Hythe and Dibden War Memorial Hospital.
The new site includes a new diagnostics suite with X-ray and ultrasound services catering to 80,000 local patients.
The modernisation project pays homage to the hospital’s history
Simon Godfree, project manager at Kier, added: “We are proud to have successfully completed the redevelopment of Hythe and Dibden War Memorial Hospital for NHS Property Services Ltd, which was procured through the SCF Framework. The building will serve as a local hub providing a welcoming positive experience for patients, visitors and staff.
“The original hospital was opened as a memorial to those who lost their lives in World War One and this has been taken forward into the new design. This includes the etched concrete and glass memorial and images of the former hospital displayed in key areas.”
Gary Naylor, managing director at gbpartnerships which supported the rebuild programme, commented: “Developments such as the Hythe and Dibden War Memorial Hospital come about by strong partnership working and lots of hard work. It’s been a pleasure to work on this important project from the development of the business case through to overseeing the design and construction of the project on behalf of NHS Property Services.”
