Russell Drury finds out more .
Wrightington Hospital is a Centre of Excellence for orthopaedic surgery and in the treatment of musculo-skeletal disease . It is widely regarded as the ‘ birthplace ’ of the hip replacement .
In 2012 WWL invested £ 6m to create two modular theatres , taking the total number of theatres to 10 and increasing patient capacity by 2,500 per year . The investment also covered additional car parking facilities , as well as enabling works for a new access road .
This was a precursor to the latest £ 18m redevelopment over three storeys that includes two new wards with 56 beds , a new admissions and recovery unit and a four bay ‘ barn theatre ’ complex – one of the first of its kind in the UK .
Barn theatres – multiple operating bays separated by privacy screens and each with its own clean air enclosure – are known to provide increased safety , improved clinical practice and greater efficiency , compared with the traditional one bay operating theatre .
The main contractor for the redevelopment was Integrated Health Projects ( IHP ) – a joint venture between Vinci Construction UK and Sir Robert McAlpine , under the NHS Procure 21 + ( P21 +) framework .
