The detail

Involving a complex 12-phase programme, our transformation of Monklands Hospital has significantly enhanced the standard of patient care delivered to a catchment population of 260,000. Phase one of the project involved the construction of a state-of-the-art 10-bed Critical Care Unit (CCU), which was handed over to NHS Lanarkshire in 2016. The core element of the overall Monklands Hospital reconfiguration features the £15m replacement and upgrade of the surgical department to provide new operating suites, including two ultra clean theatres, relatives’ area, reception and recovery area.

To transform the non-compliant theatres into a compliant facility demanded careful planning and phasing, resulting in a staged decant and refurbishment plan. We are currently completing a major Backlog Maintenance Project, encompassing Fire Safety Works for example, which is due for completion in July 2019.
