HP was appointed to deliver a package of works for Lister Hospital to transform facilities for the Trust, including: New day surgery theatres, 4 endoscopy theatres with decontamination suite (5,230m2) and reconfiguration works to the Elective Admissions Unit (EAU). New build and refurbishment of Emergency Care, Orthopaedic and Fracture Clinics, CT scanner suite (4,500m2). New ward block with acute Admissions Unit, Coronary Care Unit and High Dependency Unit (4,548m2).

IHP was awarded the major appointment to design and construct a new 154-bed low security mental health inpatient unit, with a gross internal floor area of 12,647m2. Comprising Dementia, Advanced Care, Psychological Intensive Care Units and Adult Functional Wards, the Harbour was designed with extensive input from service users and clinicians and is based on good practice guidance and ‘safety by design’ to ensure the provision of high quality care. The ethos of the unit is to provide therapeutic care which is empowering, person centred, needs led, and focuses on promoting recovery and independence.

As part of proposals to replace the Trust’s ageing 200 year old hospital, IHP delivered a new 5,003m2 community facility with inpatient beds, midwifery-led maternity unit, minor injuries unit, diagnostic/radiological, outpatient one stop shop, day treatment, therapy and rehabilitation services. IHP established a structured approach to working with the hospital’s clinicians and managerial staff which focused open user-engagement. Early involvement also enabled IHP to increase the scope of work to include an endoscopy unit without impacting on the overall cost or programme.
