A fully equipped urgent care centre delivered around a live A&E department.
Project Overview
Client:
West Middlesex University Hospital
Location:
West London
Sector:
Heathcare & Life Sciences
Solution:
Permanent Buildings
Application:
Healthcare Facilities
Scope:
Installation of a ten-bay Urgent Care Centre, including groundworks and integration with the existing hospital building
Requirement
Urgent care centre | Live hospital | Turnkey healthcare building | Clinical fit-out | Hospital integration
West Middlesex University Hospital required additional urgent-care capacity connected directly to its existing estate — without interrupting a fully functioning hospital and A&E department.
Thurston delivered a £2.41m turnkey package covering the design, manufacture and installation of a ten-bay Urgent Care Centre, including groundworks and integration with the existing hospital building. West Middlesex Hospital
The Challenge
Healthcare buildings need to work around clinical activity that cannot simply stop while construction takes place.
At West Middlesex, installation was carried out while the wider hospital — including A&E — remained fully functional.
The new facility also needed to connect with the existing hospital and be capable of operating as a complete clinical environment rather than an empty building shell.
The solution
Thurston's turnkey scope extended from building design and manufacture into fit-out and clinical readiness.
The facility incorporated treatment rooms and triage areas equipped with medical equipment, counselling rooms, nurses' stations, reception accommodation, staff and patient WCs and accessible facilities. West Middlesex Hospital
Working around the live hospital meant installation had to be closely coordinated with the client to minimise impact on existing services.
The result
The completed Urgent Care Centre provided a fully functional new healthcare facility integrated directly with West Middlesex University Hospital.
It demonstrates the difference between simply supplying modular floor space and delivering an operational healthcare environment: clinical layout, equipment, accessibility and integration all formed part of the finished solution.
What this demonstrates
Turnkey healthcare capability
Design, manufacture, groundworks, installation and internal clinical requirements were delivered as one package.
Urgent-care environments
Treatment, triage, counselling and nurse facilities were integrated around real clinical workflows.
Live-hospital delivery
The wider hospital and A&E department continued operating throughout installation.
Existing-estate integration
The new ten-bay facility was connected directly to the hospital rather than operating as an isolated building.
