Our new A&E is on the way...

Another week, more demolition...By winter 2016 our new £43m A&E will be built. This is phase one of the Emergency Floor development at Leicester's Hopsitals'. A year later, phase two will be up and running, providing a suite of assessment units located right next door to the A&E.  

Mills Flats has started to come down today, after the recent removal of the link bridge on Infirmary Close.

The piling rig to dig the foundations of the new build arrived today!

Did you know...our existing A&E was built to cope with 100,000 patients each year, we currently see 180,000.
Location: Leicester, Leicester, UK

Paediatric Emergency Department Progress!

Hello Everyone! It’s finally 2017, and there are only a handful of weeks until phase 1 of the Emergency Floor will be handed over by the contractors and open to the public! In readiness for this, we will be bringing you bi-weekly updates focusing on different areas within the new build. This week we will be focusing on the new Paediatric Emergency Department. The two pictures below show the entrance to the Paediatric department both inside and out. This is located along Infirmary Way opposite the Jarvis building and next to the Victoria building. Work continues to build the external walkway (picture below left).  Sound diffusing panels are now in place  in the Paediatric Atrium (picture below right).   Special frailty friendly rubber flooring has been laid in the new Paediatric Observation Ward (POW). Recognising that patients of all ages can be frail, charitable funding was used to make this enhancement which can only benefit our patients.
