A new Urgent Treatment Centre at The James Cook University Hospital has been designed by P+HS Architects and is being constructed by Geoffrey Robinson.
The ground floor of the new Urgent Treatment Centre at The James Cook University Hospital is now complete and open to patients.
The centre provides treatment for a whole range of minor injuries and illnesses.
Built alongside the hospital’s existing Emergency Department, the new Centre is part of a £9m investment in urgent care services on Teesside that will integrate services, provide care closer to home and ease the pressures on emergency departments.
The ground floor of the Urgent Treatment Centre has a a dedicated adult waiting area and a separate area for children.
Moving into the clinical corridor there are:
- Nine consulting rooms
- One plaster room
- One assessment room
- Ancillary spaces
Further, the ground floor links into the existing emergency departments at the front and the back, achieving a one-way patient flow in line with the client’s requirements.
The first floor of the building, with staff offices, meeting rooms and staff rest area is due to hand over in the coming weeks.
Work continues on the external cladding and landscaping, with a new lobby entrance due to begin construction in mid-May, and the new internal streaming and triage areas following on after that.
