Projects C and D will deliver an emergency care floor and acute bed reconfiguration, respectively, at the hospital.

To increase the size of the treatment room and diagnostics access, the emergency care floor will be co-located with the current emergency department, urgent treatment centre and short-stay facilities.

Acute bed reconfiguration will offer a new 18-bed acute ward to facilitate improved usage of beds as well as aid in separating planned and emergency impatient care.

The enhancements will aid the Trust in creating hot (acute or non-elective) and cold (planned care or elective) zones with shared services for handling admissions rapidly.

They will also augment the capacity of the hospital for handling emergencies and offer a wide range of elective services.

Kier Construction, London and Southern managing director David McKenzie said: “This is a project that will transform healthcare on the Isle of Wight. 

“During the project we’ll also provide wider social benefits to the community by offering work placements and apprenticeships, volunteering at the hospital and local charities, and engaging with local schools.”
