Refurbishment to key department at Warwick Hospital

A £3.2million project to significantly improve South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust’s Endoscopy Service, which carries out tests to look inside the body, is now complete.

The development, which the Trust invested £1.75million into the project while securing £1.45million from the national funding programme ‘Adapt and Adopt,’ includes a full refurbishment of Warwick Hospital’s Endoscopy Unit as well as providing an extra treatment room, additional recovery bays, a new preparation room and waiting room and hot water boilers and air handling units installed in all areas. The revamp will not only provide an enhanced environment for patients it will also create additional operational capacity to meet growing service demand.

Staff areas and facilities have also been improved during the project with a brand-new booking office and other additions such as changing rooms. The expansion will also provide job opportunities.

Julie Keightley, Endoscopy Lead Practitioner, said: “This is a really exciting development. Our department, like the Trust, strives to provide the very best care to our patients. We remained fully operational during the building work, but we are so pleased to now offer an enhanced service and improved environment for more patients.”
