FUNDING OPTIONS
Inside the operating theatre at Bedford Hospital, part of Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which sits on a podium above the main entrance.
By utilising a usage-based revenue agreement solution,
NHS Trusts could have a HTM 03-01-compliant theatre facility providing a no-compromise single theatre suite, complete with a 55 m² operating space, a UCV laminar flow canopy, and all the essential areas required for major surgery patient-ready in as little as six weeks. These facilities can be designed with the ability to undertake orthopaedic and general operating procedures, and to include an operating room, anaesthetic room, sterile pack store, dirty utility facilities, and more. This level of rapid deliverability ensures that NHS Trusts’ immediate clinical needs are met, but also that healthcare facilities are designed with the future in mind, offering long-term durability and value.
Looking ahead: the future of NHS infrastructure As the NHS adapts to increasing pressures, it’s essential for Trusts to find innovative ways to increase capacity, enhance patient outcomes, and manage budgets more effectively. Modular facilities provide a practical solution to these challenges, allowing Trusts to access the infrastructure they need without the financial burden of traditional procurement routes.
Modular buildings are designed to permanent standards, but can be deployed quickly on short-term agreements, ensuring that NHS Trusts can address both immediate and long-term needs. Whether it’s rapidly expanding capacity to reduce waiting times, or creating specialised spaces for specific medical procedures, a modular solution offers the flexibility and cost efficiency that the NHS requires in today’s environment. In summary, the NHS faces significant pressures, but by harnessing innovative solutions for modular construction, Trusts can achieve the flexibility, resilience, and cost savings, necessary to thrive, both now and in the future. At ModuleCo Healthcare (MCH), we’ve built a solid reputation for delivering bespoke modular healthcare facilities across the UK. We’ve worked closely with NHS Trusts to successfully deliver over 120 specialist modular facilities of various sizes and specifications. These range from operating theatre suites and wards to imaging facilities, sterile services departments, and maternity units. Each facility is tailored to the end-user’s specific design requirements, addressing both short- term capacity challenges and long-term infrastructure needs. Our innovative usage-based revenue agreement solution model leverages this experience, offering Trusts a flexible, cost-effective solution that adapts to their unique demands. Whether a Trust needs a temporary increase in clinical capacity, or a permanent facility to ease long-term pressure, MCH has the expertise and funding options to ensure that it happens.
