Solution
Through close collaborative working with both the hospital’s Project Manager and Theatre Leads , together with the hospital’s RPA, Quattro’s Hospital Architects were able to successfully install and commission the hospital’s first orthopaedic theatre.
In the design of this state-of-the-art operating theatre, Quattro implemented an extension to the main hospital to allow modular specialist units to be ‘plugged in’.
Additional consultation with Vanguard Healthcare ensured the modular solution was exactly to the Trust’s requirement, including laminar airflow in the theatre.
The surgical staff where very positive throughout the project and everyone is pleased that everything is now finished and operational. The Trust would like to thank all concerned for their significant input into what was a very difficult and challenging project.

Our architects really listened to the outcomes that were important to us as a friendly and welcoming dental practice and managed to surpass them for both us and our patients.

A modern operating theatre will help us support a more comfortable and positive experience for patients. It also enables the hospital to be more efficient, minimise delays. Other facilities upgraded provide a much improved standard of area that supports the increased throughput of patients since the new IR theatre opened this year.
