Ajudando a 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 suíte de descontaminação de endoscópio baseado no Wexham Park Hospital em Slough.

O edifício inclui ainda uma área de recepção e espera, dois consultórios, sala de recuperação com seis leitos, instalações para pacientes e cozinha, bem-estar do pessoal e salas de instalações, técnicas e armazenamento. O edifício modular, criado a partir de 46 unidades individuais, foi construído em pouco menos de dois meses.

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.”
