The Gloucestershire Royal Hospital

The new unit was built as an extension tightly squeezed between existing buildings on three sides. It offers a 10-bed ward, rapid diagnostic tests, medical assessment, and GP-led clinical support, as well as administrative accommodation for staff.
The design of the new unit is important in improving the care experience for patients by providing a more appropriate environment for continued assessment and timely discharge.

One of the project challenges was the tight location of the site and the need to minimize disruption to ongoing essential services. The Innovare system, which uses 162mm i-SIP full structure panels, was used to take advantage of offsite production and minimal on-site storage, reducing site disruption.
