Acute Services Block, & New Ward Block

The Acute Servies Block and New Ward Block from part of the Luton and Dunstable Masterplan​. The new buildings will provide a significant upgrade to the hospital’s facilities and delivery of clinical services and will accommodate:

• A delivery suite and midwifery led birth unit supporting 5,500 births per annum
• 42 cot neonatal intensive care unit supporting transitional care
• 22 bed adult Intensive Care unit critical care floor including isolation rooms
• 8 new operating theatres, including 2 new hybrid theatres on dedicated floor adjoining the current theatre suite to provide maximum efficiency for service provision
• Staff support facilites

Extensive staff and user engagement has been pivotal to the success of the scheme. Clinical work streams support the drive to provide forward thinking, innovation and efficient healthcare solutions.  For example, the proposed theatre reception floor proposes a theatre pod model delivering new models of care, better clinical efficiency and improved patient experience.
