McAvoy awarded £15 million contract to build new hospital wing in Northumbria
麦卡沃伊公司获得了一份价值1500万英镑的合同，将在诺森比亚建造新的医院
The McAvoy Group has been awarded its largest healthcare project to date – a £15m contract for the offsite construction of a new wing at Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Cramlington.
麦卡沃伊集团(McAvoy Group)获得了迄今为止最大的医疗项目——一份价值1500万英镑的合同，将在克拉姆顿(Cramlington)的诺森比亚(Northumbria)专科急救医院(Specialist Emergency Care Hospital)建造一个新翼。
Due for completion in Spring 2019, the 6,500m2 three-storey building will be linked to the existing hospital. The first floor will be fitted out as part of this contract to accommodate one of the UK’s first purpose-designed Ambulatory Care units, with the other two floors fitted out in the next phase of the development.
这座占地6500平方米的三层建筑将于2019年春季完工，并与现有的医院相连。作为该合同的一部分，一楼将配备英国首批专门设计的门诊护理单元，其他两层将在下一阶段进行安装。
The Ambulatory Care Unit will provide medical, surgical and nurse practitioner-led care in a relaxed and comfortable environment, allowing up to 150 patients to be treated the same day across four specialisms, without the need for hospital admissions. This will help to de-congest the emergency department, allowing patients to be seen by the most appropriate clinician earlier and offering an enhanced service for the local community.
门诊护理单元将在轻松舒适的环境中提供医疗、外科和护士主导的护理，允许多达150名患者在同一天接受四个专科的治疗，而不需要住院。这将有助于缓解急诊科的拥挤，让病人更早地得到最合适的临床医生的诊治，并为当地社区提供更好的服务。
The new wing is being constructed by McAvoy using an advanced offsite solution to reduce the build programme by half to less than 12 months. This will help Northumbria Healthcare Trust to meet the rising demand for patient services in the region and maintain its position as a world leader in emergency medicine.
新的机翼是由麦卡沃伊使用先进的场外解决方案，以减少一半的建设计划不到12个月。这将有助于诺森比亚医疗信托基金满足该地区不断增长的患者服务需求，并保持其作为世界急救医疗领导者的地位。
Commenting on the use of offsite construction, Robert Sanderson, Deputy Director of Capital Projects at Northumbria Healthcare FML said, “With this new development, the Trust is demonstrating a dynamic approach with its use of modern methods of construction. The quality of the facility to meet the clinical requirements is our main driver for a McAvoy offsite solution. We will also benefit from a huge reduction in the build programme – from at least two years to just 12 months. This will bring enormous benefits for reducing waiting times in A&E next year and the new ambulatory care unit will enable us to assess, treat and discharge patients more quickly.”
Northumbria Healthcare FML资本项目副主任Robert Sanderson在评论使用场外施工时表示，随着这一新发展，信托公司正在展示其使用现代施工方法的动态方法。满足临床要求的设备质量是我们McAvoy场外解决方案的主要驱动力。我们还将受益于建设项目的大幅削减，从至少两年减至12个月。这将在明年为减少急症室的等待时间带来巨大的好处，新的门诊护理单元将使我们能够更快地评估、治疗和出院患者。
