Tilbury Douglas has completed the \u00a320.5m expansion of the Emergency Department and theatre suite at Aintree University Hospital for the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust<\/h2>\n

The new two-story extension at Aintree University Hospital<\/a> features brand-new hybrid operating theatres, improved assessment areas, upgrades to the Radiology Department, and improvements to the ambulance drop-off facilities on the ground floor.<\/p>\n

A new Stroke Emergency Assessment Unit has been formed to ensure that patients receive rapid clinical evaluations using a CT scanner, allowing for quicker administration of treatments, which will maximise their chances of full recovery.<\/p>\n

Aintree University Hospital can treat patients quicker than ever<\/h3>\n

The new suites, which welcomed their first patient on September 13, enable simultaneous surgery and advanced imaging in a single theatre. This allows vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists to perform endovascular procedures, treating blood vessel issues without open surgery.<\/p>\n

Patients treated by this team will experience notably shorter recovery times, leading to a reduction in waiting lists.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great achievement from all those involved to be able to hand over the completed project to Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust<\/a>,\u201d said Phil Shaw, divisional director for the North West at Tilbury Douglas.<\/p>\n

Working alongside local SMEs<\/h3>\n

The project team worked with 93% of local businesses, all of which were small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The team were able to deliver a remarkable return on investment in terms of social value at 78%, dedicated over 210 hours of their own time to volunteer efforts.<\/p>\n

Social value initiatives included the conversion of a previously inaccessible and underused courtyard into a relaxing garden designed to alleviate stress for hospital staff, patients, and visitors.<\/p>\n

The project helped facilitate over 200 apprentice weeks during its course on-site, contributing to the growth and development of the workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new facilities will enable health professionals to deliver the care that patients deserve in a space fit for purpose with an enhanced layout. This will allow them to manoeuvre more quickly, driving clinical efficiencies and enhanced patient care for the local community,\u201d concluded Shaw.<\/p>\n
