The £1.9m scheme, the first of two phases, includes the reconfiguration of Navenby Ward to increase capacity at the Stroke Unit. Two five-bay wards will be merged into a single Hyper Acute Stroke Unit (HASU), with layout changes to ancillary compartments, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing modernisation. The existing ward will be given a refresh with new joinery, floors, doors, decoration, ceiling and lights.
Ian Taylor, MD of the Magherafelt-headquarted construction firm, said, “We are very pleased to have begun work on this project at Lincoln County Hospital which will improve patient services and provide a more attractive place for hospital staff to work.
“Henry Brothers Construction is currently delivering a number of healthcare schemes for hospitals across the East Midlands, and has recently completed a new Endoscopy Unit in Leicester. We are extremely proud to play a part in supporting our local hospitals as they enhance their buildings and facilities to deliver even better care for patients.”
United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust appointed Henry Brothers Construction to the project under the Pagabo Refit and Refurbishment Framework.
Other team members involved in phase one of the refurbishment include Day Architectural, who are providing architectural, project management and quantity surveying services, and DSSR, who are undertaking the mechanical and electrical engineering services.
