ModuleCo Healthcare completes work on award-winning, flagship scheme at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital

We’re extremely proud to announce that we’ve completed and handed over our flagship scheme at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham.

Alongside our manufacturing partner, ModuleCo, we have spent the last 6 months working on phase two of this impressive, award-winning scheme for the Birmingham-based hospital. Phase one of work began in September 2019 and was handed over just four months later. Our second phase of work began in July 2020 and was handed over in December, which means the amazing team at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust will be ready to help even more patients in the new year.

Together, the project team has created a contemporary three-storey modular theatre and ward complex, four operating theatres, a six-bed recovery suite and a 20-bed inpatient ward.

The project has also delivered many significant benefits including:

• Increasing theatre capacity by 40%

• Allowing the hospital to see 2,000 more patients annually

• Creating 70 new jobs, making the hospital the biggest employer in the area

• Creating a sustainable, future-proof facility with expansion and relocation options should demands change in the future

This state-of-the-art modular facility will enable the NHS Trust to completely transform its theatre services and respond to additional capacity pressures. This is particularly significant at this time, as the NHS tries to fight the nationwide backlog of operations caused by COVID-19.

The Trust was able to invest in these new facilities because MCH provided a Managed Service Agreement, whereby the long-term rental agreement for the building, the enabling works, ongoing maintenance and provision of the equipment, as well as the ongoing servicing of the facility, were all incorporated into one affordable monthly fee, which provides the trust with the option to recover VAT.

Alan Wilson, Managing Director of ModuleCo Healthcare, said: “We’re thrilled with the work we have completed at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital. It’s a fantastic feeling to work on a project that truly delivers social value for the local community, especially at such a challenging time for our NHS. Capacity issues are an ongoing problem, so it’s great to offer a helping hand, wherever possible.

“For us, the scheme is a flagship development, demonstrating exemplary standards that we’ll look to model moving forwards. We’re proud that the building we provided represents the very best that the modular construction market has to offer, and that’s been recognised through our significant awards success in 2020.

Professor Phillip Begg, Executive Director of Strategy and Transformation at the Trust, has worked alongside us and our partners since the first phase of the project was commissioned. When discussing the completion of the facilities, he said: “We’re very pleased to be receiving our brand-new theatre and ward complex. Working with ModuleCo Healthcare has been a positive experience, providing our hospital with state-of-the-art facilities that will benefit thousands of patients in the future.

“Building modular has been of great benefit, allowing us to continue caring for patients with minimal disruption to our services. We’re proud of the partnership we have developed with ModuleCo Healthcare and the result is an amazing complex that will allow The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital to treat more patients in a modern environment that meets their needs.”
