Vanguard Healthcare Solutions Awarded Silver at Building Better Healthcare Awards

We are delighted to announce that Vanguard Healthcare Solutions has been awarded Silver in the “Best Modular/Mobile Healthcare Facility” category at the Building Better Healthcare Awards, in recognition of our rapid‑deployment project with Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTM UHB).

Congratulations to P+HS Architects who took Gold.

Delivering fast, high‑quality capacity for CTM UHB

Working closely with CTM UHB, Vanguard designed and delivered a fully integrated endoscopy complex within just six weeks, and a four‑theatre surgical suite within nine weeks.

This project demonstrates Vanguard’s expertise in flexible clinical infrastructure: solutions that maintain theatre‑standard environments, patient flows and recovery pathways.

The judges at the Building Better Healthcare Awards recognised the speed, clinical suitability and quality of the installation, all of which underpin Vanguard’s message of delivering additional capacity, quickly and effectively to support NHS and private healthcare partners.

Why this matters

• Mobile and Modular solutions mean minimal disruption on site, faster access for patients and efficient capital use.
• For CTM UHB, the rapid deployment directly addressed theatre closure and ward decanting following a critical incident at the Princess of Wales Hospital.
• At a time when waiting list reduction is a national priority, our solution enabled CTM‑UHB to restore capacity and accelerate recovery of services.
• This recognition reinforces Vanguard’s role as a partner of choice for health organisations seeking innovative, flexible infrastructure.

Sponsorship of Best External Environment/Landscaping Project

We were pleased to sponsor the “Best External Environment/Landscaping Project” category, celebrating the vital role that design of external and landscape spaces plays in healthcare environments. Congratulations to Gilling Dod Architects on their win.

Sponsoring this award aligns with Vanguard’s broader commitment to sustainable, patient‑centred infrastructure: we understand that high‑quality healthcare facilities aren’t just about internal clinical space, but also the interstitial zones, access routes and external environments that contribute to patient experience and staff wellbeing.

Looking ahead

This accolade drives us to continue developing solutions that combine clinical rigour, speed of deployment and operational flexibility. Whether you’re looking to expand theatre capacity, increase diagnostic throughput or configure a mobile ward, Vanguard is ready to help.
