**OUR EXPERIENCE IN DELIVERING HOSPITAL PROJECTS**
The health and wellbeing of our nation is something we all care deeply about.
Nothing is more important than people's health and happiness, especially since the pandemic where we witnessed on a global scale, just how important and heroic our health service is.
Seeing this only went to reinforce why these talented and passionate people need the very best facilities to deliver exceptional patient experiences.
Putting patients, and clinicians, at the heart of the delivery is vital within the design and construction process too.
To do this effectively, collaboration between construction, estates and facilities, and clinicians, from design to aftercare and beyond, is a non-negotiable. It really matters.
Our diverse portfolio of experience across the secondary care sector includes new builds, extensions and refurbishments to deliver:
Large acute care hospitals
Extensions to live hospitals
Ward refurbishment and reconfigurations
Standalone treatment centres and ward blocks
Mental health hospitals
Multi-storey car parks

Spire Hospital | £38.5mTollerton, Nottingham
A brand new purpose built 54-bed Spire hospital.
The new hospital houses three ultra-clean air theatres, one hybrid theatre designed for minimally-invasive surgery and cardiology, a minor surgery theatre, 54 patient beds, five-bed HDU/ITU, MRI & CT scanning facilities and offers a full range of surgical and medical treatments.
The project was constructed right next to a live airfield and constant liaison with the ATC next door, especially during crane operated works was vital.
Sample rooms were provided 6-8 weeks before handover. These were totally live rooms so that Spire could see how they worked and make any necessary changes such as tweaks to the colour and the siunk designs, which proved vital to the operation of these areas.
The Morgan Sindall staff genuinely wanted to do a good job and make the project enjoyable, even when the pressure to finish was high, which led to a trusting environment. The team worked collaboratively and there was a genuine commitment to achieve.

The Core at Guys and St Thomas' Hospital | £30mLondon Borough of Lambeth
The construction of a new, six- storey building which includes reception and admissions on the ground floor, two operating theatres on the first floor, teaching facilities on the remaining floors and a plant room on the roof.
Procured through the SCF framework, the building will accommodate a standalone ‘Day Surgery Centre’ for the Evelina Children’s Hospital and specialist facilities to support the training and education of students and staff.
This development enables the hospital to provide expanded clinical services and meet demand within new facilities that ensure the best possible patient environment. It will also provide high-quality education and training accommodation to support both retaining existing staff and attracting new medical students into the profession. While flexible future proofed accommodation will be adaptable to the changing requirements of the Trust’s services.
The journey through the PCSA to date has been seamless. The team understand our vision for this complex project and have a proactive approach and positive "can do" attitude.

Institute in the Park phase 1 & 2 | circa £20mAlder Hey Children's Hospital, Liverpool (NWCH)
Delivered over two phases, the Institute in the Park is a dedicated research, education and innovation centre for the development of medicines for children at Alder Hey - one of Europe’s biggest and busiest children’s hospitals.
Procured via the North West Construction Hub framework, Institute in the Park is home to around 100 education, research and clinical staff helping to provide children in the North West greater access to life-saving technologies and world-class facilities for researchers.
It provides classrooms, two lecture theatres, multi-use study areas, a café, and a simulation suite to replicate a small ward. This features hydraulic-powered patient simulation models and observation cameras built into the ceilings to assist with training.
The building is an important component of the healthcare campus and the Trust stressed the importance of the development as this would set standards for future projects. Morgan Sindall have been an integral member of the team in delivering a high quality building.”

Accident & Emergency Extension | £14.5mRoyal Devon & Exeter Hospital
A three storey concrete framed extension to current A&E department.
The new extension houses an expanded A&E department, resus, theatres and plant room, as well as a new ambulance road and significant external hard landscaping. Delivered on a live acute hospital site, the team had to constantly work around the ambulance teams - both on the ground and in the air (as they are next door to the helipad) to ensure blue light access is never compromised.
Being right next door to the ICU, direct lines to the site management team meant that hospital staff were able to stand down works for both key operations and moments where families needed to grieve. The team has also delivered ward refurbishments whilst on site.
This project is a really good example of working together to hit budget. Brilliant performance.

Radiotherapy Centre, Milton Keynes | £14mMilton Keynes University Hospital
Procured via the Pagabo national framework, we have been selected to create a new, highly specialist radiotherapy unit at Milton Keynes University Hospital.
The new facility will help to meet a significant increase in demand for radiotherapy treatment in the area and decrease waiting times for patients. When complete, the radiotherapy centre will house two state-of-the-art medical linear accelerator (Linac) bunkers and will include a main reception, consultation rooms and a CT scanner area.
The specialised nature of the project presented several unique construction challenges, including the need to create 2.6m thick concrete walls to prevent radiation leakage from the onsite radiotherapy equipment and an extensive material delivery preparations to avoid disruption to patients and staff.
We are delighted to have started construction work on what will be a hugely significant facility for local people. This development will complete our cancer services offering, improving patient outcomes and the experience that they receive while at our hospital."

Southlands Hospital Clinical Diagnostics Centre | £14mShoreham, Sussex
Located within the existing hospital buildings, the new clinical diagnostics centre will provide new a new X-Ray suite, comprising three new imaging rooms, a CT scanner and two MRI scanners, all providing diagnostic imaging alongside consulting and treatment suites for outpatient services.
The improvement works will increase the capabilities of the hospital and help to provide earlier diagnoses for the local community. As part of our Intelligent Solutions approach, removable walls are being installed to the MRI suite to safeguard the Trust’s long-term investment in the facility. This design feature means that if the suite ever needs to be relocated then the UHSussex’s investment is protected.
Our business is privileged to be delivering these improvement works and understands the important role they will play in improving key health outcomes for the local community, such as enabling earlier diagnoses for a range of priority conditions.”

James Paget Hospital Theatres Extension | £10mGorleston, Norfolk
The design and construction of new state-of-the-art theatres at the heart of the hospital.
The £10 million scheme to refurbish and extend the central theatres vertically to create a brand new day case operating unit was delivered at the heart of the hospital campus.
Situated above live theatres, and in-between the cancer care unit and children's wards, sensitivity around the schemes delivery was key. The team installed temporary specialist ventilation systems to make sure the surrounding wards remained unaffected by the works.
Amongst many volunteer projects, the team dedicated a whole week to refurbishing a courtyard for patient rehabilitation.
I would absolutely recommend the team. Within the NHS there are various VFM exercises and I'd say we have the perfect balance of value for money and quality here, so I would certainly recommend Morgan Sindall to colleagues across the UK.

Multi-storey car park | £6.9mBurton Hospital, West Midlands
A new 499 space multi-storey car park at the heart of the hospital estate.
As part of the wider strategy to boost the patient, visitor and staff experience at Burton Hospital, the team have completed the construction of a new four storey car park which provides 499 parking spaces, 20 of which have new electrical charging points. The car park which was constructed with a steel frame and concrete planks also includes a lift and state of the art CCTV cameras.
The project was sandwiched between an accommodation block for nurses and a treatment centre with live theatres. This meant that ensuring minimal disruption to the neighbours and patients was vital. During the groundworks, we changed from sheet piling to a king post system to minimise the vibration on site.
Morgan Sindall are the gold standard. They are compassionate, they're caring, extremely professional, extremely easy to work with. They go above and beyond and they they've lived and breathed what they said they would do.

CPFT Resource Centre | £6.1mFulbourn Hospital, Cambridgeshire
Delivered for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Foundation NHS Trust, the CPFT Resource Centre creates a new facility for in patients at Fulbourn Hospital.
The mental health hospital already owned 25 modular units, and through repurposing and refurbishing them, Morgan Sindall were able to create a brand new 1200m2 facility housing gym, therapy rooms, café and offices.
By reusing the modules, the team was able to save 144 tonnes of carbon. In addition an array of solar panels on the roof providing energy for the building.
The team delivered the project on a live operation mental health hospital site, where security and sensitivity were key.
Working with Morgan Sindall Construction has proved a successful partnership, the new Resource Centre is a fantastic addition to our Fulbourn site.

James Paget Hospital RAAC works | £6mGorleston, Norfolk
To help reinforce the main roof, specialist RAAC reinforcement works are being undertaken.
Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) was a 1950's technique used across a number of schools and hospitals. Many of these have started to fail and that has been the case at James Paget Hospital.
To safeguard staff and patients, Morgan Sindall were brought in to undertake a pioneering programme of reinforcement works, using timber beams to make the hospital safe. This timber solution (different to many steel and propping solutions being used elsewhere) is not only structurally sound, but is quick, flexible and more cost effective - it enables the team to take over small areas in phases and implement the solution 70% faster.
Having a contractor on site undertaking other capital projects has proved to be a big enabler in the success – it means the we can be far more flexible in how they deploy their workforce around the hospital. That level of collaboration has been critical.

James Paget Hospital ED and MRI | £3.6mGorleston, Norfolk
The construction of a brand new emergency department and MRI unit using modern methods of construction.
Working on the live hospital campus, the team installed new modular units to the hospital to create an enlarged emergency department and MRI unit at the hospital.
Thanks to the use of modular construction, the emergency department was delivered in just 14 weeks. This was imperative given the volume of patients at the hospital. Throughout the scheme the team had to work closely with the ambulance crews and existing emergency department to ensure blue light access 24/7. Direct communications to the project team was vital in ensuring business as usual for the hospital.
For us it's so important for a contractor to have a flexible approach. Right at the top of the list is the ability to understand how critical the patient outcomes and hospital operation is. Constant communication to build that level of trust is key.
St Richard's Hospital, Chichester | £3mUniversity Hospitals Sussex NHS Trust
An urgent requirement for a new Outpatients space to be ready in seven months, meant that modular construction was the best solution for St Richards Hospital, University Hospitals Sussex NHS.
Volumetric construction has saved around 12 weeks in time on site.
The building is part of a much wider restoration plan and once completed, existing departments will decant into this building so that other works around the hospital site can continue.
Take a look at the video opposite to see how our modular projects take shape.
The Morgan Sindall team were instrumental in adding value and progressing the design at the pace needed to ensure the modular contractor delivered to the dates to ensure no impact to programme."

George Mackenzie House Refurbishment | £2.9mFulbourn Hospital, Cambridgeshire
Internal refurbishment of five single storey wings of a large NHS mental health hospital.
In addition to the extensive refurbishment to create new en-suite ward areas, changing underfloor heating, the team also installed a new pre-fabricated modular unit to extend the staff facilities at the hospital.
George MacKenzie House is a low-secure unit with facilities to care for up to 20 patients, both men and women, under the care of either the general consultant psychiatrist or the forensic consultant psychiatrist.
The phased refurbishment project was carried out in a live environment in which Morgan Sindall took possession of a wing at a time whilst the remainder of the building was occupied.
We couldn't fault the Morgan Sindall approach to the project. The completely open and collaborative relationship which has been built up during the project has made it a pleasure to work on. The whole customer experience continues to be very good.

OPAT/Medical Training Room, Inverness | £345kNHS Highland - Raigmore Hospital
Forming part of programme of works at Raigmore Hospital, Morgan Sindall upgraded the Outpatient Antibiotic Treatment (OPAT) facilities and converted existing accommodation into a medical education training room.
The OPAT works involved the partial strip-out of the area to shell and core and refurbished to finished detail. This comprised of a six-bed treatment room and disabled toilet on one side of the corridor with associated office and store located opposite. The medical education suite also comprised a complete strip-out, reconfiguration and refurbishment to create a classroom/office-suite and simulation treatment rooms with an observation area. With works taking place in a live environment with 24/7 operation and services, continuity was critical.
The team were always available and approachable to ensure that the project ran smoothly with no disruption to the adjacent live wards. The project was completed on the agreed dates and the overall finish is of a higher standard than we have experienced with other contractors.

Decontamination Unit (SSD), Inverness | £1.1mNHS Highland - Raigmore Hospital
Following the successful delivery of OPAT/Medical Rooms at Raigmore Hospital, Morgan Sindall was appointed to increase the capacity of its decontamination unit for the National Treatment Centre.
The works consisted of constructing a lightweight insulated enclosure, providing segregation for clean and dirty medical instruments to the front of the building. The installation of a modular building also helped increase the washroom area with connections to existing window and fire exit openings. An existing reception area was reconfigured to provide staff changing rooms which featured lockers, benches, mirrors and coat hooks. An existing shower room was also converted into a toilet.
It has been a good experience and we have already engaged Morgan Sindall Construction to undertake other projects on the estate on the back of how this and other projects were delivered.
