02 / Overview
Overview of the Tameside and Glossop NHS Foundation Trust E & U Care project
The Tameside and Glossop NHS Foundation Trust E & U Care project consists of two distinct elements:
Emergency Department (ED) Alterations:
This segment involves both new construction and refurbishment activities. The existing ED follows a central design with two designated templates, termed C & D. Originally constructed around 1986, the facility has undergone multiple refurbishments and changes over time. The upcoming developments primarily focus on area C and encompass the following:
- Courtyard infill to create a new Majors Area
- New plant facilities on the roof of the courtyard infill
- Extension to the front of the department for a Main Entrance and Paediatric Area (linked to area D)
- New plant facilities on the roof of the extension
- Enhancement of resuscitation bed spaces
- Remodelling and expansion of the Majors area for increased treatment spaces
- Introduction of a new CT Scanner Suite
- Establishment of a Rapid Assessment and Treatment area
- Creation of ancillary and support zones
Area D involves refurbishment and adjustments to achieve the following:
- New Surgical Day Evaluation Centre (SDEC) area
- New X-ray area with accompanying support facilities
- Modifications to the existing shared X-ray control room
- Integration with the new extension
Mammography Area:
The existing hydrotherapy region, situated at the rear of template B on level 01 (ground level in that site area), will be repurposed to establish a new Mammography department. This area will feature two Mammography rooms, a reception, waiting area, and staff support spaces.
The implementation of the ED works will occur through various phases, whereas the Mammography area will be executed as a single distinct phase.
