Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust has found that it requires three additional theatres and more UCV (Ultra-Clean Ventilation) facilities, and has therefore commissioned a new £5.5 million theatre complex, due for completion early next year.
In addition, to the space-saving benefits, this can facilitate the sharing of expertise.
The Trust’s team had seen Howorth Medical’s four-table barn theatre at Broadgreen Hospital and Cardiothoracic Centre, Liverpool, and commissioned the company to provide the full theatre package for the new complex, with full design responsibility. When it is complete, the barn theatre at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust will facilitate a substantial change in the way the hospital is able to handle orthopaedic surgery.
