Mother & Baby Unit
A ‘Highly Commended’ went to the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust’s Strategic Estates Team – for the new eight- bedded Kingfisher Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) at Hellesdon Hospital in Norwich. This was designed, site managed, and completed, by a small ‘in-house’ Trust team ‘against challenging timescales’, on time and within budget, ‘to an excellent standard’. In 2016 the Trust successfully bid for NHSE funding to build one of four new MBUs in the UK. At the time the Trust had no suitable site or building to re-model to house the unit. Due to limited timescales, a decision was taken by the Strategic Estates Department that the only building suitable was the existing Kingfisher House building, then used as an office base and the Hellesdon Hospital site’s main
Pharmacy Department. As a member of the Mother & Baby Unit Board set up for the project, the Strategic Estates Team was responsible for: l Expert design and guidance around statutory obligations and design standards in terms of planning approval, Building Regulations, fire precautions, Legionella compliance (Water Safety Plan), and infection control.
l ‘Design of patient-safe environments’ – specifically around anti-ligature controls and alarm systems (both patient and staff).
l Specialist mechanical and electrical services.
