New £804 m hospital for Jersey gets the go-ahead
The go-ahead has been granted for a new 70,000 m2
hospital, to be built on the
existing Overdale Hospital site in St Helier, in what is expected to be one of the largest public projects ever undertaken in Jersey. With an associated budget of £804 m, the Our Hospital Project has been granted full planning permission following the publication of the Planning Inspector’s report recommending approval, and subsequent formal consent by Jersey’s Minister of the Environment. Designed by Llewelyn Davies, the new hospital is expected to become fully operational by late 2026. The Design and Delivery Partner is a joint venture partnership between ROK and FCC Construcción known as ROK FCC JV. As lead architects, Llewelyn Davies was originally employed in July 2020 to assist with the evaluation and selection of five shortlisted sites. From November 2020 through to the submission of the detailed application exactly one year later, under Project director, Stephen Featherstone and lead Clinical director, Robert Etchell, the planning and design of OHP has been developed with extensive public
and clinical engagement. Stephen Featherstone said: “This is
a massive achievement for the design and delivery team and the people of Jersey. A huge number of people have been involved in making this project a tremendous success, including incredibly supportive clinical teams for whom this outcome is richly deserved. The people of Jersey have long been wanting this project to be delivered, and now it finally can.” Planning Inspector, Philip Staddon, added: “The result is an undisputedly high-quality healthcare campus, with contemporary buildings in an attractive
Work starts on new musculoskeletal treatment hub for Rochdale Eric Wright
Construction has started work on Nye Bevan House in Rochdale for Community Health Partnerships, in a project that will deliver a leading musculoskeletal (MSK) diagnostic treatment hub unit for the people of the Lancashire town.
The £1.25 m project will see the four-storey building, built in 2008, extensively re-modelled, increasing clinical capacity, and maximising use of available space. It will also include a gym for patients, and counselling rooms and offices for the clinical teams. The InHealth Pain Service will also move into the new areas at Nye Bevan House from ‘local outdated accommodation’.
CHP Regional director, Andy Muir, added: “CHP is delighted to support
care closer to home for patients and their carers. Our high-quality buildings are ideally placed to house multiple complementary clinical services in one building, and reduce the need for patients to travel for this support.” Current services in the building include Audiology, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Children’s Speech, and Language Therapy. Four GP surgeries are also based in Nye Bevan House, plus a breast cancer screening service, optician, pharmacy, two dentists, and a café.
landscaped setting, which would enable patients and others within the hospital building to enjoy a very pleasant, indeed quite stunning, environment, and panoramic views out to sea.” The OHP project team includes
Llewelyn Davies (lead architect, clinical planning, and interior design), Arup (civil, structures, MEP engineering, and transport), Soundings (consultation), LDA Design (landscape), and Temple (statutory planning), Urban Counsel (built heritage), Morris Architects (local architects), MJM (healthcare planners), and TProjects (arts consultants).
‘Transformative approaches’ to Irish healthcare
Specialist healthcare infrastructure consultancy, Archus, has established a new Dublin office. It says the move will further
strengthen its partnerships with public sector healthcare clients and partners in Ireland, where it will deliver consultancy services including strategic healthcare planning, transformation, technical advisory, property consultancy, and programme/project management. CEO, Richard Darch, said: “The Dublin office’s opening is part of our commitment to Ireland, reflective of both the successful relationships we have built to date, and our international business growth strategy. The recent Cabinet approval for the introduction of six new Regional Health Areas is just one example of the many reforms taking place as part of the ambitious Sláintecare vision for integrated health and social care.”
