Western is delighted to announce its appointment as the main contractor for the new Department of Critical Care at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital – a significant healthcare development that will enhance critical care services for some of Gloucestershire’s most seriously ill patients.
Appointed through the NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS) framework, we will be working in partnership with Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to deliver a state-of-the-art facility designed to meet the evolving needs of patients, clinicians and the wider healthcare community.
Building for the Future of Critical Care
As demand for specialist healthcare services continues to grow, investment in modern, adaptable clinical environments has never been more important. The new Department of Critical Care has been carefully designed to provide a flexible, purpose-built space that supports the delivery of exceptional patient care while creating an environment that enables frontline teams to work effectively.
The development represents a major investment in the future of healthcare across Gloucestershire, helping the Trust increase capacity, improve patient outcomes and provide the infrastructure needed to support critical care services for many years to come.
Breaking Ground on a Landmark Project
The project officially commenced with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by representatives from Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Western and the wider project team. The event marked the beginning of an exciting collaboration and celebrated the shared commitment to delivering a facility that will have a lasting impact on healthcare across the community.
Architectural visualisations offer an exciting glimpse of the finished building, showcasing a modern, welcoming environment that has been thoughtfully designed around the needs of patients, visitors and clinical staff.
Working Together to Deliver Excellence
At Western, we understand that healthcare construction extends far beyond creating buildings. Every project we deliver is about supporting better patient experiences, enabling healthcare professionals to provide the highest standards of care, and creating facilities that serve communities for generations.
We look forward to working closely with Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the design team and all project partners throughout the construction programme to ensure this important development is delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest quality standards.
