Gilling Dod Architects has been working with the Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust procured using the Procure 21+ framework with Kier Construction selected as its principal supply chain partner to submit plans for the new Urgent Care Centre. The Full Business Case has now been approved and a start date for construction has been set for March 2015.
The proposals for the new Urgent Care Centre involves the closure of the Walk in Centre on Greasborough Road and the transfer of GP out of hours services to a new purpose built Urgent Care Centre on the Hospital site, integrated with an updated Emergency Department.
Plans include, an extension to the existing A&E facility that integrates an Urgent Care and Walk In Centre into one department on the Rotherham Hospital site.
The new extension has been designed to complement the hospital's existing main entrance that was redeveloped in 2011. It is striking in design, with a prominent front elevation and an accessible patient drop off outside the front door.
