CHALLENGING TIMES FOR THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the NHS and healthcare sector remain under pressure. Patient backlogs, diminishing resources, and the need to keep pace with rapidly evolving technology are constant issues.
As a result of the government’s pledge to invest heavily in public sector healthcare funding, which has been released to 178 NHS trusts. This covers almost 1,800 maintenance projects.
NHS hospital staff, patients and visitors across all regions in England will benefit from refurbished wards, brand-new electrics and upgraded ventilation systems. The Health Secretary announced this along with the government investing £600 million to tackle critical maintenance work.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SURVEYING
THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR
Models of care are rapidly evolving, NHS trusts, architects, project managers and GPs are all looking to maximise value for money.
At Spatial Dimensions, we recognise that one of the biggest challenges for developers, architects and project managers in the healthcare sector is to avoid disruption. This has a knock on effect to patients and staff in operational facilities. As a result, programmes are made to run smoothly and measured surveys require rapid execution, whilst ensuring absolute accuracy and attention to detail.
Spatial Dimensions are working on an increasing number of surveys in the healthcare sector, carrying out measured building surveys for refurbishment as well as topographical and underground utility surveys for extension and expansion.
You can view some selected examples of our survey work in hospitals, and healthcare facilities, below.
