Getting Fast-track Renal Units into the community
There has been drive from the Government towards getting dialysis facilities into the community principally because of the travelling time for patients - some patients have to travel to the main city hospitals, and this can be up to 3 times a week, which can be daunting if you don’t live in the city.
ModuleCo (formerly PKL Healthcare) can provide fast-track facilitiies using off-site manufacturing to help drive this Government inititive. The prime benefits of using this modern method of construction are:
· Programme time – reduced
· Reduced on-site activities – less disruption
· Factory environment – Controlled inspections and limited weather/labour restrictions
Below is an example of a facility that ModuleCo have provided and as you will read it has certainly reeped the benefits from both a patients and a business point of view.
Case Study:
A £2.3 million project providing a new nine-station dialysis unit and a new radiology suite at Cromer and District Hospital.
What: Radiology & Renal Unit
Where: Cromer Hospital, Norfolk
Features: 2 buildings – a 9 bed renal unit for kidney dialysis and a radiology unit, which is the new home for the hospitals MRI scanner, x-ray machine and ultrasound unit. The facility also features a specialist pitched roof to coincide with the existing architecture.
The nearest Radiology and Renal Unit was over an hour away and the hospital wanted to cut down on travelling time and inconvenience to its patients. So when they received money from Mrs Bernstein who was a local resident this allowed the hospital to obtain new equipment improve and expand hence cutting time and hassle for its patients.
