Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 06:14 · Archive

ModuleCo has been appointed to build a new ophthalmic operating theatre and recovery room at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

ModuleCo has been appointed to build a new operating theatre at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, supporting The Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Community and Hospitals NHS Group's investment in modern healthcare facilities. The 240 square metre facility will include a new ophthalmic operating theatre featuring an Ultra Clean Ventilation canopy alongside a dedicated two-bed recovery area for patients following procedures.

Construction is being undertaken using a modular approach, with ninety percent of construction completed off-site to minimise disruption to patients and staff. Groundworks are underway on the construction site adjacent to Wards 38 and 39, which were also constructed by ModuleCo and opened in December last year. Completion is expected in early 2027. Once finished, the theatre will connect to the two wards, strengthening access between surgical and rehabilitation teams.

Jonathan Brindley, Sales Director for ModuleCo, said: 'We are delighted to be working with the Trust again to deliver this much-needed additional theatre capacity.' Ned Hobbs, Group Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Chief Executive, said the new theatre and recovery bays would allow the trust to continue building on progress in planned care, enabling more patients to receive surgery quicker in a modern, purpose-built environment.
