R edevelopment News Have a sneak peek inside the new interim intensive care unit Do you want to see inside the new interim intensive care unit (ICU) being built? Would you like to know how to access the interim ICU? Have you any burning questions about the ICU? Watch this VIDEO where the main works contractor, A W Edwards answers staff questions. Go inside the ICU which is being constructed as you are taken on a tour. A few lucky staff were given a tour of the interim ICU by A W Edwards to help them envision their soon- to-be new workspace. Just like the current intensive care unit, the interim ICU will have an observation station and 14 patient beds. All beds will have hard wired cardiac monitors and feature a new patient entertainment system.
With the roof now in place, the builders have started fitting out the unit before erecting the internal walls, along with installation of the external façade and glazing panels. The interim ICU will allow the hospital to continue to operate throughout the redevelopment, freeing up space for the new hospital’s footprint. There will be direct access to from the operating theatres to the ICU and there will be natural light and windows throughout the unit. Equipment and furniture will be repurposed within the new Acute Service Building (ASB), while the space where the interim ICU currently sits will be transferred to a street-level car park. Staff and patients are expected to move into the new interim ICU about April 2025.
