Support when hospitals undergo refurbishment or reconfiguration
Hospital and community health services are continually refurbishing facilities or changing the location or the type of treatment provided in a facility. Service reconfiguration and refurbishment programmes can occur as a response to financial or workforce pressures, the drive to deliver more effective clinical outcomes, improve patient access to healthcare or react to new technological developments.
With any refurbishment, service redesign or reconfiguration project there is always the potential for major disruption to the delivery of patient care, which impacts on an already pressured system. We can help hospitals to prepare and ensure adequate plans are in place to manage the potential downtime.
The plan may include:
Additional clinical support staff to assist your already stretched teams, helping to maintain activity levels and meet waiting time targets
Help to ensure care standards are maintained and patient experience remains positive
Rental of medical devices/equipment to supplement your own supply
Proven solutions to offset a temporary reduction in capacity
Development of a programme for refurbishments or sequence a redesign in one go
Installing a mobile facility to provide a rapid interim solution, away from the project area
