Glan Clwyd operating space is transformed, HEJ Jonathan Baillie reports:
Introduction
Turnkey construction company, MTX Contracts, has recently completed a suite of five ‘modern and future proofed’ operating theatres at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, in the the first phase of a 90-phase, £89.9 million redevelopment of facilities at the North Wales hospital being undertaken by Laing O’Rourke for the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. According to Dr Eileen Williams, a consultant anaesthetist at the hospital, and the clinical leader on the hospital redevelopment project, the new theatre facilities will enable surgeons to undertake a wide range of surgical procedures, equipped with the most modern technology, but will also improve patient flow, aid infection control, and greatly enhance overall working efficiencies.
