The Requirement

South Warwickshire General Hospital NHS Trust had a need for a new building to modernise the service and free up critical bed space for elective surgery. 

The Solution

The single-storey wing was designed and built by Foremans in just three months and accommodates a 12-bed ward, pre-operative assessment clinic, waiting area and reception. Future expansion with the addition of a second storey will be possible without the need for decanting. 

The building is fully compliant with NHS Health Technical Memoranda and Health Building Notes. 

The new building was constructed off-site, limiting disruption to staff and patients.

Comments from the Client

John Stevens, Capital and Estates Manager, South Warwickshire General Hospital NHS Trust: 

"We had a need for a new building to help us modernise our service through the increased use of day surgery which would free up critical bed space for elective cases. We appointed Foremans for their ability to produce a quality building in a very short timescale." 

"Despite having to work on a constrained, challenging site, they have delivered the building on time and on budget. The quality is very good and Foremans' performance overall has been exceptional."
