Kier, a UK-based construction company, has been appointed by King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to deliver a new £25m endoscopy building at the Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH) in Farnborough.
The two-storey, 2,400 sqm building will support the delivery of vital health services in the south of London, including the ambition to help up to 4,500 additional cancer patients to be seen each year.
The new building has been designed to improve patient experience, with the patient’s journey adhering to accredited pathways set by the Joint Advisory Group (JAG) on Gastro-Intestinal (GI) Endoscopy.
Facilities will include consultation, treatment, and recovery rooms, a sterile services unit, plus rest and training spaces for staff.
