It may be hard to visualise beyond the plaster board and intricate pipe work, but in just a few months, this building will be welcoming its first patients as Stamford’s new healthcare facility.

The state-of-the-art Day Treatment Unit at Stamford & Rutland Hospital will further enhance patient care for the local community - providing day case procedures in three specially equipped rooms, three standard-sized cabin-style changing rooms with ensuite facilities, plus six recovery bays. 

More images from inside the unit – which is being built on the site of the former nurse’s accommodation block adjacent to the main hospital – show progress in developing the interior of the building.

The entrance to the Day Treatment Unit is now taking shape, with additional groundworks planned to make it a welcoming space for patient as they enter a spacious and airy reception area.

Outside, work continues on the cladding and soon to be installed signage will give the unit its identity. 

It is expected that the facility will be completed and handed over to the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust – and ready to accept its first patients – this summer.

Trust Chief Finance Officer, Joel Harrison, said: “Seeing the space and modern feel to the building gives a sense of excitement to what we as a Trust are providing for future generations.

“Once completed, this state-of-the-art unit will further enhance our healthcare offering not only to the people in and around Stamford, but to other patients within the North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust catchment area.”
