Wye Valley NHS Trust had scope to expand its current ward facilities at Hereford County Hospital; established as the area’s leading centre for acute hospital care. MTX were successful in the bid to provide a four-storey ward development, as part of the ‘NHS Build Fund’.

The development includes 72 bed spaces split across three 24 bed wards, each with a dedicated reception on each floor, staff bases and assessment rooms, all serviced by a top floor plant room. The new building connects into the existing hospital at ground floor level, via purpose made link corridors. A twin precast lift shaft was also integrated into the modular design to provide the new facility with two bed lifts.
