Following our recent project appointment to provide the mechanical and electrical services for the new Orthopaedic Surgery Unit at Addenbrookes Hospital with main contractor MTX, our first fix works are progressing well.
The fast-track scheme involves the construction of three new modular operating theatres and ancillary spaces to create a new surgical centre of excellence in the region for musculoskeletal problems. 40 dedicated beds will be provided for patients undergoing routine orthopaedic surgery such as knee and hip replacements. Once completed, the facility will become the “Cambridge Movement Surgical Hub” and increase orthopaedic capacity by 20%, carrying out around 2,700 procedures a year. Being separate from the main hospital and emergency services, the new hub will focus on specially designed care for patients, whilst reducing waiting lists and the length of time that patients need to stay in hospital post operation.
