Contractor appointed for Belfast maternity unit
Shops transformed into treatment rooms
T
wo new specialist eye treatment facilities are being developed by Central Manchester University
Hospitals NHS Trust. As part of a £450,000 project, two
unoccupied high street retail units will be refurbished to create new macular treatment units for the trust. The project has been designed and
specified by Warburton Associates, with Novus Property Solutions appointed as the main contractor. It involves stripping out and minor
demolition works at the two existing units. The team will then fit out both units, installing new partitions, toilets, doors and ceilings as well as decorating the interior and carrying out all associated mechanical and electrical works. The work will also create welcoming reception areas as well as new scanner, vision and consulting rooms plus pre and post-treatment rooms for both units.

End-of-life care unit opens N
iven Architects has completed a new inpatient palliative care unit for St Teresa’s Hospice in Darlington. Situated adjacent to the existing
Grade II listed Georgian hospice building; the development accommodates 10 patients in rooms at ground-floor level. Designed to have a minimal impact
on its surroundings and to protect the privacy of the adjacent domestic properties; the building departs from the traditional clinical appearance. Instead, it is characterised by bespoke design and finishes to all the rooms, as

well as providing patients and their families with private entrances and access to individual patio areas from which to enjoy the gardens. Jane Bradshaw, hospice chief
executive, said: “The new wing is somewhere people actually do not mind being admitted to – as un- hospital-like as possible, but with excellent clinical facilities.” The fully-accessible new-build has
seen occupancy increase by 92% in just one month.
RAHAM has been chosen by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust to construct its new £57m
maternity hospital at the Royal Victoria Hospital. The project will be delivered through
GRAHAM-Bam Healthcare Partnership, a joint venture between GRAHAM Construction and Bam Ireland. Located on the main Royal Victoria
Hospital site, next to the existing maternity hospital; the new facility will include delivery suites, obstetric theatres, and a neonatal intensive care unit on one floor. There will also be a midwifery-led birthing unit with en-suite rooms, each with a birthing pool. Karen Brookes, director of capital
planning and redevelopment at the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, said: “We look forward to working with our partners to create a high-quality modern maternity hospital that will help us to deliver quality care designed to meet the needs of more than 6,000 women who have their babies delivered by the Royal Jubilee maternity service each year.” Ron Clarke, managing director for
building at GRAHAM Construction, added: “We are delighted to have been selected by the Belfast Trust to construct the new maternity unit on the Royal Victoria Hospital complex. “This new building will be a friendly
and welcoming environment with state- of-the-art facilities and more choice to better meet the needs of the women who will use it.”
