Manchester Central Convention Complex is being converted into a temporary hospital for COVID-19 patients.
Our previous ward environment was no longer fit for purpose, dormitory style and did nothing to enhance privacy and dignity for our patients. This fantastic refurbishment will really improve the experience for our patients.
The temporary hospital, which covers 17,000 m2, will be officially known as “NHS Nightingale Hospital North West” and is being delivered by Integrated Health Projects – the joint venture between VINCI Building and Sir Robert McAlpine under the Department of Health’s ProCure22 framework.
The project has been specifically commissioned to help deal with the increased pressures on the NHS and their capacity to look after patients. Our IHP team are on site and work is well underway.
VINCI Building and Sir Robert McAlpine are major providers of support services to the NHS and its people are working hard to support the NHS, its clinical teams and other keyworkers during the COVID-19 crisis.
Invited guests, healthcare and construction professionals gathered at Witham Court in North Hykeham to celebrate the opening of the newly refurbished and extended Brant Ward.
Our team at Preston Critical Care Unit are giving Preston College students first-hand experience in the real-life world and away from the four walls of a classroom.
6 members of VINCI's York-based Guildhall project team put their construction skills to work on a slightly unusual building project during a SOMAD day at Rowntree Park in the city.
