Thisisthefirstglimpseof Clitheroe’snew state-of-the- art community hospital.


The multi-million pound’ development is well on


■ trackto open its’doors to the p u b lic in A p r i l and the Glitheroe’ Advertiser and Times was given exclusive, access to the new hospital to . ■ i show readers what they can


? expect once the £7.401. facil­ ity opens. Work officially started on the two-storey, 4,050 square


• metre scheme, on land off Chatburn Road, in February last year. .


. The new hospital will have, 32 in-patient beds: Some 16


• of the beds will be individual rooms with en-suite bath­ rooms. There will also be four four-bed bays, all with en suite facilities and with different


•colour schemes. The artwork and decor of the wards has’ been inspired by Clitheroe- folk. There w i l l be a large patients’ lounge, plus a “love


; snug” area where patients can spend time with their relatives away from the ward. • The new hospital will


be the first in East Lanca­ shire not to have nursing! stations. Instead the nurses . will be equipped with mobile computers, a move health-, experts believe will encourage nurses to have more interact tion with patients and enable the delivery of higher stand­ ards of care. • In addition, there will be


three physiotherapy teams, one occupational therapy team, special care dentistry treatment, diagnostic facili­ ties, a new radiplogy section and an expanded out-patient department with eight con-


. suiting rooms. Continued on page 22 Project manager Craig Henderson with site builders, James Wheelerand Graham Gaskell.'
