Kier To Transform Heatherwood Hospital In Ascot
Kier is to build a new hospital in Ascot, delivering a £98 million transformation project at the existing Heatherwood Hospital.
The 11,500 sq m site, will specialise in planned, non-emergency procedures, offering state-of-the-art outpatient and diagnostic facilities for cardiology, radiology, lithotripsy, children's clinic, physiotherapy and orthodontics. It will have six operating theatres and 48 inpatient beds, plus 22 day case cubicles. A primary care hub and private patient unit will also be located on site.
The new hospital is expected to double the services of the existing facility within its first 10 years.
Work will begin on site this month, with completion scheduled for the end of 2021.
Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust awarded Kier the build contract through the ProCure21+ framework.
Jonathan Payne, managing director for Kier Construction Thames Valley and director at Kier Buildings, said: "This latest win is a hugely important milestone for healthcare delivery in the south of England. It is testament to the drive, energy and passion of the team at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust that this new build hospital will help transform delivery of healthcare to residents of Ascot and the surrounding area.
"Working collaboratively with the trust over the last three years, we have also delivered a new maternity unit and emergency assessment centre for Wexham Park Hospital. Alongside our local supply chain, we have extensive experience delivering healthcare projects and we look forward to playing a pivotal role in the transformation of Heatherwood Hospital."
Frimley Health chief executive Neil Dardis, added: "We are delighted that we can now deliver our vision for the Heatherwood site. The new hospital will ensure we can offer local patients the best care in the best environment and it is a key part of our strategy to remain an innovative and outstanding trust well into the future. We can't wait to get started."
