This 48-bed critical care project was delivered to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital utilising MMC. Part of a regional approach for managing critical care demand, the aim was to support and alleviate future seasonal and epidemic pressures.
The new five-storey facility, Oxford Critical Care (OCC) comprises three 16-bed wards and non-clinical accommodation such as seminar rooms on the remaining two. By using MMC, MTX quickly delivered this high-quality new hospital facility cost effectively. Over five days 148 modules were safely and efficiently craned into position.
We have been able to incorporate advanced 21st century designs that, from experience, will enable the clinical team to provide efficient and excellent clinical care for patients while working in a modern, bright, natural daylit and person-centred environment.
