Extension to mobile theatre unit deployed in Dudley

Following the success of an initial contract, a UK medical technology company is set to continue to help an NHS hospital Trust deliver orthopaedic procedures during a refurbishment project.

Vanguard Healthcare Solutions initially began working with the Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust in March 2019, and was initially due to have one of its mobile laminar theatres on site at Russell’s Hall Hospital in Dudley for six months, while the Trust refurbished its current orthopaedic theatre facilities. 

The Trust covers a population of 450,000 people. All orthopaedic surgery such as hip and knee replacements, which would normally be performed in the hospital theatre undergoing renovation, was moved to the mobile theatre.

 

The current contract ended in September 2019, but such has been the success of the project, the unit will return in November 2019 and will stay on site until May 2020 to allow for additional refurbishment work to continue at the Trust

Designed and built by Vanguard, the mobile theatre provides an anaesthetic room, operating theatre, two bed firststage recovery area, staff changing room and utility areas. A specially-constructed corridor and ramps join the main body of the hospital to the unit.

Vanguard laminar flow theatre facilities offer HEPA-filtered environmental air that conforms to Grade A EUGMP , with up to 600 air changes per hour passing over the patient, and 25 fresh air changes.
