Some of our sickest patients are benefiting from a brand new, state of the art critical care unit, now open at William Harvey Hospital.
The two storey, 24-bed unit, has been designed to provide the very best care and experience for patients and their loved ones, shaped by learning from the Covid pandemic.
The new unit contains four six-bed areas, including side rooms and bays. There are also two rooms for family and visitors.
Dedicated staff facilities, including rest areas, changing rooms and work spaces, are on the second floor.
Dr Mark Snazelle, the Trust’s lead doctor for critical care said: “This new unit is a fantastic boost for our team and is the best possible environment for us to care for our most critically-ill patients. After months of designing, planning, building, testing and training, we are ready for our first patients.”
