Interserve Construction<\/a> has delivered a new ward at Royal Preston Hospital to support Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust<\/a>\u2019s response to the coronavirus crisis<\/h2>\n

The contract follows Interserve Construction\u2019s recent success in delivering the new NHS Nightingale Hospital Birmingham<\/a> to the NHS to treat Covid-19 patients and the installation of a suite of decontamination units at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new 28-bed ward will give Royal Preston Hospital the extra capacity to treat Covid-19 patients during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Royal Preston Hospital provides a full range of hospital services and has around 700 beds, operating theatre complex, outpatient suites and education facilities.<\/p>\n

Antibody testing facility<\/h3>\n

Most recently, the hospital has become a flagship site with a new ground-breaking Covid-19 antibody testing facility. This test will tell the medical team whether or not a person has had the disease and give them an understanding of how many of the population have actually been infected. This will assist in the nationwide track and trace initiative.<\/p>\n

Phil Shaw, divisional director, Interserve Construction, said: \u201cThe Interserve team at the\u00a0Royal Preston Hospital have done an outstanding job in turning this project around at short notice demonstrating our expertise and capabilities in supporting the NHS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a long-term contractor to the NHS, under several framework agreements, we bring considerable experience and wide-ranging capabilities to deliver even at the shortest notice as witnessed by our work in Preston and at Liverpool\u2019s\u00a0Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n
