The Treatment Centre is now outdated and needs expansion and refurbishment.
With the support of the Trust's official charity CW+, the Trust aims to:
- Create modern and welcoming facilities, which support the latest surgical innovation and more complex procedures
- Ensure the highest possible quality of care for our patients
- Offer a better working environment for staff
- Treat more patients year-on-year and improve patient aftercare
- Improve efficiency: treating more patients at a lower cost
The redevlopment works will help increase the footprint of the Treatment Centre by more than 70%
Also, the redevelopment works will help increase the footprint of the Treatment Centre by more than 70%, retaining seven operating theatres, including two brand-new theatres.
In addition, the Trust aims to improve recovery facilities for patients by developing a new overnight recovery area. This means that more complex procedures can take place without the need for inpatient admission.
