HOSPITAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
the hospital; the compact N1 bedside ‘transport’ monitor simply unplugs from the side of the main monitor, and can then be plugged into the host bedside monitor at the new location.
In addition, nursing and clinical staff can use the parameters of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) protocol, visible on the screen, to assess and respond to any deterioration in condition, rather than – as many hospitals do – having to calculate this early warning score on paper. The monitors transmit
observations into the hospital’s Electronic Patient Records via the eGateway.
The first floor Critical Care Unit. Life-saving potential
The automated transmission of early warning signs can not only save lives, but at Royal Papworth, the ‘tailoring’ of the NEWS2 display enables clinicians to add and view additional parameters particularly important to the hospital, including Emesis (sickness), pain score, and inspired oxygen. The system is also integrated with a third party’s mobile alarm system, so that senior clinical staff can be alerted to and respond quickly in the event of patient deterioration – an especially valuable feature given that most patients are in single rooms. Should a patient’s early warning score cross a NEWS2 threshold, an alert is triggered via the mobile phone devices carried by the hospital’s equivalent of a clinical outreach team. Staff can also perform a 12-lead ECG at the bedside using wall-mounted monitors; the system then automatically sends the results to a file share. Components have also been installed in the theatres, where the system provides an iVIEW function – a modular PC that integrates with the monitor, and also
connection to any hospital informatics system, such as PACS and pathology results. This patient data can then be displayed on the monitor for easy viewing and visibility.
Early origins as a TB colony The new, distinctly 21st-century, accommodation, facilities, and technology are impressive, and should enable surgeons to perform ground-breaking surgery for years to come. However – as many will know – the new hospital and its work build upon a considerable legacy. The old Papworth Hospital had its origins in a tuberculosis colony established by Cambridgeshire TB Officer, Pendrill Varrier-Jones, in the village of Bourn in 1916. Over the next century, the hospital developed a global reputation for pioneering heart and lung surgery, for instance undertaking the UK’s first successful heart transplant in 1979, and the world’s first heart-lung and liver transplant in 1986. However, it had been acknowledged for at least the past
2-3 decades that there was a need to re- locate to a more modern, fit-for-purpose building, which would also cater for rising surgical demand.
Looking back to the early days, however, and encouraged by the results from his first patients, and following a £5,000 donation from a wealthy philanthropist, Pendrill Varrier-Jones purchased the Papworth Hall estate, about 15 miles north west of the new hospital, in the village of Papworth Everard, in 1917, to develop his ideas on a larger scale. Over the subsequent years, the hospital’s expertise and pioneering work, initially in lung surgery, but subsequently also in cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, became world- renowned, and it attracted some of the finest surgeons in the field.
Sleep centre’s royal opening Looking to more modern times, and in 1993 Diana, Princess of Wales, visited the Papworth Everard site to officially open the new Respiratory Support and Sleep Centre (RSSC) – the UK’s largest such facility, which provides ventilator support and sleep medicine to patients referred from across the country. Two years later, the hospital opened its Cystic Fibrosis Unit, which supports adults from across the East of England with the condition. In 2014, the hospital was established as a national centre for Pulmonary Endarterectomy surgery, and in 2015 surgeons carried out Europe’s first heart transplant using a non-beating heart. In 2017, the hospital received a royal title from The Queen, and a year later, celebrated its centenary. In the spring of last year staff and management achieved a long-held ambition when all services
