Day case theatres, Chorley & South Ribble Hospital
Creation of new facilities to restore the hospitals theatre and surgical capability, following four of the former day case theatres repurposed to create an expanded accident and emergency department to segregate Covid and Non-Covid patients in line with strict infection prevention control measures.
The new development aims to address and alleviate the patient backlog across the Lancashire and South Cumbria awaiting a range of surgical speciality day case procedures such as orthopaedic, plastic surgery and general surgery.
The works consisted of remodelling, refurbishment and fit out of the first floor of an existing hospital theatre block within the Chorley Hospital campus as part of a wider programme of much needed modernisation and refurbishment works being undertaken throughout the hospital estate.
