Plans reveal scale of Derriford upgrade
The Herald
|May 30, 2022
PLANS for the first phase of a major new upgrade proposed for Derriford Hospital have been given the go-ahead.
The scheme will see the Plymouth hospital expanded, with the provision of a new Urgent and Emergency Care Centre.
The multi-million-pound scheme includes the comprehensive internal refurbishment of the existing Emergency Department and repurposing as paediatric facilities. This comes together with a four-storey new-build element required to provide additional accommodation to meet current and future demand.
The new 15,000 sq m build will see the colocation of the Emergency Department with urgent care pathways and the addition of dedicated interventional radiology theatre capacity (hybrid theatres which bring real-time diagnostic imaging capabilities into the operating theatre). Enabling work is due to begin later this year, with plans for construction work to start in 2023.
