Project Brief
The need for specialist space within the NHS was thrown into sharp relief by the covid-19 pandemic, and Royal Bolton Hospital was not alone in seeking a solution to changing clinical environments. The hospital needed a new same day emergency care (SDEC) centre to help reduce congestion in its busy A&E department, and we were happy to step up to the challenge.

Our Approach
The new SDEC unit is designed to help staff at Royal Bolton Hospital prioritise patients and reduce waiting times by creating space for initial assessments.
Like many NHS trusts, this busy hospital needed a way to reduce waiting times and allow it to process and treat patients more quickly. Part of an overall upgrade to the hospital’s ageing estate, this brand-new modular building is designed to occupy the exact footprint previously occupied by ambulatory care, so it makes the best possible use of the existing space.
The modular healthcare building houses a new trolley-based assessment centre where patients can be seen by clinical staff who will arrange initial treatment once their needs are understood. After this, patients are either discharged or admitted to hospital for further care.
The Results
Elite Systems’ experience in understanding the challenges and need for speed involved in a healthcare project meant that the company was able to ensure that the new building was in place and fully fitted out in a matter of weeks. Patients and staff alike are benefitting from the more efficient processes made possible by the creation of this modern, modular building.
