Tilbury Douglas has started construction of the new Arrowe Park Urgent and Emergency Care facility on behalf of Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
The Arrowe Park Urgent and Emergency Care facility has been designed to create an efficient patient flow, with those attending the centre through a single point, which will ensure patients are provided with the right care.
The facility will transform Wirral’s emergency department
Janelle Holmes, chief executive at Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, said: “The new facility will completely transform Wirral’s only emergency department and also the provision of urgent care for local people.
“This is the biggest investment at Arrowe Park Hospital since it was built over 40 years ago and shows our commitment to enhancing the care we provide to those who are in most urgent need.”
Providing an enhanced environment for patients and visitors
Phil Shaw, divisional director for the North West at Tilbury Douglas, added: “Utilising our extensive experience within the healthcare sector, we are looking forward to working with Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to deliver a new urgent treatment centre that will provide an enhanced environment for patients and visitors.
“Being part of such a significant investment is a real honour for the team working on this scheme. This is why they are focusing on giving back to the local community.”
The Tilbury Douglas team has already hosted four Meet the Buyer events with Wirral Chamber and Constructionline to provide opportunities for local businesses to ensure the Wirral pound is spent locally.
Alongside this, Tilbury Douglas’ ‘Give a Day of Your Time’ volunteering initiative working with Cradle has supported people suffering from pregnancy loss.
Recruiting and developing future talent
The construction of the new Arrowe Park Urgent and Emergency Care facility has already recruited 64 direct apprentices, and the Early Careers recruitment intake for 2023 is now live with 114 exciting opportunities.
Tilbury Douglas offers a range of different apprenticeships across: Civil engineering; Construction management; Mechanical & electrical; Quantity surveying; Design management; Estimating; Planning; Sustainability, and Social Value.
To address the high suicide rate for men in the industry, the company has also focused on mental health and wellbeing with safety stand down initiatives taking place during Mental Health Awareness Week, Suicide Prevention Day and Blue Monday.
