Bassetlawin sairaala, Doncaster

Tarve 

As part of the refurbishment project removing the threat to the safety of patients and staff caused by the presence of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC), a solution was required that ensured continuity of care. Planned procedures should continue during roof refurbishment work and the hospital's operating theatres could not be used.

Suunnitelma

The initial plan was for two mobile operating theatres to be provided to cover the downtime of the hospital’s internal theatres. However, during discussions, it was decided that three theatres with modular support areas for storage, changing and welfare would be more appropriate. This approach would provide a 'standalone' facility to provide the alternative capacity. 

Ratkaisu

In just 10 weeks, three mobile operating theatres with support modular hub facilities were designed, installed and commissioned. This timescale included the construction of a connecting corridor and fire walls (in consultation with the Trust fire officer). Training was provided for the staff who would run the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the facility. 

Lopputulos

The installation of the 'mixed-modality' surgical facility (comprising mobile and modular elements) meant that the roof refurbishment work did not interrupt the care the hospital provides for its patients. Planned general, breast and laser surgery went ahead, along with arthroplasty, orthopaedic foot, shoulder and hand surgery, and urological, gynaecological, and endoscopy procedures. 

Tämän seurauksena Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitalsista tuli ensimmäinen akuutti NHS-palveluntarjoaja maassa, joka onnistui hävittämään vahvistetun autoklavoidun hiilihapotetun betonin (RAAC) toimipaikoistaan.

Yhteistyömme Vincin kanssa

Vinci otti yhteyttä Vanguard:hen auttamaan tässä projektissa aikaisemman onnistuneen työsuhteen vuoksi. Olimme iloisia voidessamme työskennellä Vincin kanssa auttaaksemme sairaalaa jatkamaan hoitoaan Vincin ja IHP:n (Vincin ja Sir Robert McAlpinen yhteisyritys) suorittamien kunnostustöiden aikana.
