Het helpen van Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust

Vanguard Healthcare Solutions worked alongside the Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust to design and build an endoscopy “one-stop” solution which incorporates not only two high quality clinical procedure rooms but also an in-house endoscoop-decontaminatiesuite gevestigd in het Wexham Park Hospital in Slough.

Het gebouw omvat verder een ontvangst- en wachtruimte, twee spreekkamers, een herstelruimte met zes bedden, patiëntenfaciliteiten en keuken, personeelswelzijn en -faciliteiten, technische ruimtes en opslagruimten. Het modulaire gebouw, opgebouwd uit 46 afzonderlijke eenheden, werd in iets minder dan twee maanden gebouwd.

Capacity for elective procedures all over the country have faced increased pressure as a result of COVID-19. Since opening in February this year, the unit has seen high volumes of patients everyday day. The unit performs a range of endoscopy procedures including colonoscopies, sigmoidoscopies and gastroscopies. It is staffed by the Trust’s own clinical teams.

Simon Conroy, National Endoscopy Sales Manager for Vanguard Healthcare Solutions, said: “This project is a great example of a Trust using innovative thinking and solutions to help them provide essential patient care and increase capacity.

Stephen Holmes, Associate Director of Capital at Frimley Health, said: “We were very impressed with the speed at which the new endoscopy suite was designed and built. It has enabled us to rapidly increase capacity for these important diagnostic services at Wexham Park Hospital so that more of our patients can be assessed as soon as possible.”
