HEALTH SECTOR NEWS Cancer Hospital appoints construction firm
Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital (CCRH) has appointed Laing O’Rourke as its preferred construction partner to join the project for its next phase of design. The international construction and engineering company was selected following a competitive process using Crown Commercial Service’s Construction Works and Associated Services 2 (CWAS2) framework, and will start work on the project under a pre-construction services agreement. The appointment comes as NHS England, the Department of Health and Social Care, and HM Treasury, have approved the Outline Business Case (OBC) for the new facility. The seven-storey, circa 26,300 m2

September webinar to cover key POU use and maintenance issues
The use and maintenance of point- of-use (POU) water filters, which are widely deployed in hospitals and other healthcare facilities today, will be the subject of a webinar titled ‘Point-of-Use Filters – Filter Management Made Easy Webinar’, presented by Aqua free in association with Health Estate Journal at 11.00 am on 26 September.
Aqua free, which says it is ‘dedicated to maintaining and improving water hygiene’, explained: “During the webinar we will be looking to address and clarify some of the issues and questions that filter users have – for instance around regular changing of filters, and the reasons why this is necessary, and effective filter cleaning. Filtration is essential to the treatment of drinking water, and is the only way to ensure reliable protection against waterborne pathogens that cause disease. Please join us on 26 September at 11.00 am
for what we hope will be an informative and insightful session.”
The webinar will be presented by Aqua free MD, Dr Florian Dibbern, Sales and Operations director, Mark Aristidou, head of Product Management and Business Development, Holger Eggert, and Water Hygiene Sales & Operations coordinator, Jack Ansell.

from Laing O’Rourke, said: “We’ve worked collaboratively with the design team, NBBJ and AECOM, on a number of healthcare projects over the past decade, and will bring industry-leading expertise to support the next stage of their design development journey. We will maximise the use of Modern Methods of Construction to bring real programme and cost certainty benefits.” Health Minister, Lord Markham, said:
“The approval of the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital’s second stage of its business case, and confirmation of its preferred construction partner, is a major milestone. The proposed new specialist building will foster collaboration between hospital staff and researchers to help secure ground-breaking discoveries, and encourage cutting-edge treatments for patients across the entire region.” A full planning application was submitted to Cambridge City Council in January, with a decision expected later this year. Construction works are due to start in 2024.
New surgical centre for Port Talbot
Eluned Morgan, the Minister for Health and Social Services in Wales, has officially opened the Orthopaedic Centre of Excellence at Neath Port Talbot Hospital, part of Swansea Bay University Health Board. The Minister toured
the new surgical facility after unveiling a plaque to commemorate the opening, with representatives of both the Health Board and ModuleCo Healthcare (MCH), which provided the facility, in attendance. ModuleCo Healthcare supplied the new unit as part of a long-term managed services agreement, which it says will help the Health Board clear the backlog in orthopaedic surgery in the region. The Health Minister’s visit was part of a broader effort to improve healthcare services across Wales, and she was particularly interested in seeing how the Centre of Excellence is addressing the backlog of patients currently waiting for treatment.
