Practical completion has been reached
on the new £276m South West Acute Hospital at Enniskillen, Northern
Ireland.
Capita Symonds provided Independent Tester
services on the scheme which will provide essential health and
social care for people living in the Southern Sector of the Western
Trust Area.
Built on a 52-acre site, the new 312 bed hospital will begin
admitting patients this month, just three years after construction
began.
The project sets new standards for hospital
design and amenity with departments and public spaces that are
animated by sunshine and daylight with continuous views of
landscape and rural surroundings. It is also the first hospital in
Northern Ireland to be built with 100% single ensuite rooms. The
single rooms will not only address the needs of patients, but each
is specifically designed to address infection control issues.
