Plan - WIP
I split the site in the centre between public and private. (I am not a fan of the black background but I my drawings always look invisible on the blog.)
I will try to do a colour coded and labelled one for tomorrow, so that we can discuss programmatic distribution.
I found the the floor distribution from UCL - each floor has a distinct program.
(see bellow)
16th floor: Gynaecology & Breast
15th floor: Private patients, outpatient and day
assessment
14th floor: Cancer inpatients - Oncology/Head &
Neck
13th floor: Cancer inpatients - Haematology/Transplant
12th floor: Adolescent inpatients: UCLH was the first
Trust to introduce a dedicated adolescent ward for cancer care over 20 years
ago, and the evolution in patient care. The new facilities, designed in
association with The Teenage Cancer Trust, will consolidate our position at the
forefront of adolescent care, with the largest multidiscpinlary adolescent unit
in the country, specially furnished and equipped to provide a home from home
for any teenager
11th floor: Paediatrics inpatient
10th floor: Medicine/Care of the elderly
9th floor: General surgery/Gastro intestinal
8th floor: Infectious diseases, for patients with
tropical/infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, and patients requiring isolation and
other specialised care
7th floor: Urology/Short stay
6th floor: Trauma &
orthopaedic/Vascular/Rheumatology
5th floor: Nuclear medicine & HD Radiation.
The Institute of Nuclear Medicine is already an internationally recoginised
service and academic unit. With the first PET/CT scanner in the UK, SPET/CT
gamma cameras and bone densitometers for NHS and research activity. The
Institute will also serve as a training centre for doctors of other
specialities seeking training and expertise in areas such as oncology,
radiology, cardiology and neuro-psychiatry. The unit is also a key centre for
the training of scientists and physicists.
4th floor: Engineering Plant
3rd
floor: Critical care
facility including High Dependency Unit – the largest in London, with 35 beds,
reducing average dependency levels in other wards, directly linked by bridge to
the operating theatres.
2nd floor: Ambulatory intervention unit.
Growing technical sophistication means that increasing numbers of interventions
are performed without the need for extended in-patient stays. This new unit
will boast 38 rooms with the latest in image-guided diagnostic equipment.
Currently located on three wards in two separate buildings, our new Acute
Admissions Unit will be located directly above A&E, enabling continuity of
treatment between the two.
Our new A&E facilities anticipate a 10% increase on current figures (rising
to 70,000 – 80,000) and will include two paediatric bays, a cot bay, and
fracture clinic.
Podium
Block
4th floor: Engineering plant/Central sterile services
3rd floor: 12 operating theatres and 18 recovery beds
2nd floor: Ambulatory intervention unit (including Gastro intestinal), stretching across to include the Tower, containing seven endoscopy suites, 15 recovery beds, six first stage recovery beds, interventional CT, ECRP, laser bronchoscope.
