In addition to £30million of Government funding, we also successfully bid for £15million to demolish and replace our Urgent Care Centre, with a new Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) led by a team of clinicians and practitioners.
The old, temporary Urgent Care Centre building was demolished, and in its place, a permanent, larger building has been constructed.
Designed with input from patients and staff, the UTC is inclusive and accessible for all; with the Trust’s first ever changing places facility for children and adults with disabilities, block colour pallets for patients with dementia, lowered reception desk access for wheelchair users and a sky ceiling to bring the outside, in.
On Wednesday 27 July 2022, our Urgent Treatment Centre opened its doors to the public.
