Project Complete - Southwell Ward at the Nottingham City Hospital is back open!
A 32-bed Ward at City Hospital has reopened to patients following a £1.7 million refurbishment – and the difference is already being felt.
Used primarily for respiratory patients, the ward has been fully refreshed over the past 12 weeks while patients were cared for in nearby Newell Ward.
The refurbishment includes:
🛁 New bathrooms in the five and six-bed bays
🚿 Ensuite facilities in single rooms
🧼 New clean and dirty utility areas
🛎️ A refreshed reception desk and offices
The project was completed in just 12 weeks, with teams working long weeks and split shifts to get the ward ready as quickly as possible.
Victoria Fensome, Director of Nursing and Professions for Medicine, said:
“This much-needed refurbishment will make a real difference to the experience of our patients and staff. The ward now feels much more modern, with significantly improved facilities throughout.”
