BAM to deliver new£68million major trauma centre in Salford
Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, part of the Northern Care Alliance NHS Group, has appointed BAM Construction to build a new hospital on the Salford Royal site, to support its role as the major trauma centre for Greater Manchester. BAM’s appointment to the £68 m major capital project follows a competitive process under ProCure22 – planning permission for the six-storey James Potter Building having been granted in December 2019. The new hospital build, part of the Government’s Health Infrastructure Plan, will be named in honour of the organisation’s recently retired, long-standing chairman, Jim
Potter. It will provide major trauma and high acuity surgery facilities, receiving 90 per cent of all major trauma patients in Greater Manchester. It will also be the hub site for high-risk general surgery across Bolton, Salford, and Wigan. BAM is now on site carrying out enabling works, with a full construction programme start confirmed for 22 February. Day Architectural has worked on the design with BAM and the Trust. Scheme completion is anticipated in summer 2023.
Northern Care Alliance Chief Executive, Raj Jain, said: “This important facility has been many years in the planning with a
number of our local, regional, and national partners. We are proud to be the major trauma centre for Greater Manchester, and this centre, with our specialist clinical teams within it, will allow us to provide trauma care and services to an additional 400 trauma patients per year.” The 9,800 m2
, six-storey centre will
feature a resuscitation area, five emergency theatres, inpatient beds, diagnostic imaging, and a helipad.
Furniture reminiscent of 1950s and 1960s ‘with a modern twist’ Working with
Knightsbridge has partnered with designer, Bruce Kenneth (pictured right, with Knightsbridge’s director of Design & Development, Jason Brown), to develop what the company claims is ‘a unique collection of furniture for the healthcare sector’.
Knightsbridge said: “As a regular maker on BBC 1’s programme, Money for Nothing, Bruce is an up-and-coming furniture designer with a passion for creating interesting pieces that make a statement.”
Knightsbridge’s design team, Bruce Kenneth has helped to create Tron – a striking collection of tables and chairs, ‘inspired by angles and motion’, and ‘reminiscent of furniture from the 1950s and 1960s with a modern twist’.
Jason Brown said: “As a leading furniture manufacturer, we are always looking at pushing boundaries to create pieces that are not only functional for their setting, but that look great too. Healthcare furniture doesn’t have to be boring. Bruce has a
really unique style, and we wanted that at the core of the new collection.” The new collection includes a highback lounge chair, midback lounge chair, upright chair, and 25 occasional and coffee tables available in various shapes and sizes. Bruce Kenneth said: “I have loved working with Knightsbridge; combining expert craftsmanship with quality materials to really bring my designs to life. I have a particular passion for chairs; they can set the tone and change a room’s aesthetic. I feel proud that my work will be helping to create inspiring and comfortable furniture for healthcare settings.”
