We are delighted to announce that the delivery of the new operating theatres and staff accommodation facility for Neath Port Talbot Hospital has commenced. This project is being carried out on behalf of Swansea Bay University Health Board and is set to become the Centre of Excellence for Orthopaedic and Spinal Surgery in the region.
The facility aims to reduce the backlog in Orthopaedic procedures reducing patient waiting times, whilst also increasing their capacity during periods of increased pressure. MCH will be delivering this project in conjunction with our manufacturing partner, ModuleCo, who have successfully completed construction of the modules in the factory, and have moved onto the delivery, install and commissioning stage of the project.
Our Managing Director, Alan Wilson, said, “We’ve been engaged with the Health Board on this exciting scheme since early 2022, procured via the Shared Business Service framework, and since then we have been working tirelessly behind the scenes and are now at the point of delivery, with the install and commissioning of the facility taking us into the new year, with handover due in March”
Group Director for Singleton and Neath Port Talbot hospitals, Jan Worthing, said: “It’s really exciting to see these plans progress and the work now well underway for the new theatres. “Of course, having the extra theatres is one part of the investment we are making in cutting waiting lists.
“We are also investing in many more new staff, ranging from more porters and cleaners to admin, pathology, pharmacy, radiology, therapy, nursing, medical and theatre staff.
“Being part of the new Centre of Excellence at Neath Port Talbot Hospital and working in dedicating and cutting-edge new facilities is something which we hope will help to attract new staff to build our teams and services.”
