Stamford’s new state of the art Day Treatment Unit is on course to treat its first patients as early as next Summer  – as the exciting facility continues to take shape.

 

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 new patient bays, staff areas and procedure and consultation rooms.

 

These exciting proposals 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. 

The latest tour of the facility with lead contractor, Darwin Group, allowed senior Trust staff to see how the DTU (which will replace the current Greenwood Day Treatment Unit) is taking shape.

 

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 – by early Summer 2025. 

Among those donning hard hats and hi-vis vests for a look behind the scenes were Trust Chief Finance Officer, Joel Harrison, Deputy Director of Strategic Estate Development, Chris Howard, Trust Divisional Operations Director Chris Longster and Stamford & Rutland Hospital Matron, Caroline Robertston.

Joel said: “Having the chance to look around the project and speak to the contractors and those involved in with the planning really does help to bring the vision of this amazing facility to life. 

“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.”
