Renal Dialysis Unit reconfiguration, Bradford Royal Infirmary
Get in touch
Summary
Delivering a modern renal care facility
Improving the experience of renal patients while creating a safer and more effective clinical environment, this refurbishment at Bradford Royal Infirmary transformed the hospital's Renal Dialysis Department. We reconfigured the facility to relocate the service to its former lower ground floor location, providing a more dignified setting for patients alongside enhanced working environments and support facilities for staff.
Transforming space and systems
The works included internal demolition, structural alterations and a new single-storey extension to accommodate plant and ancillary spaces. The refurbished department incorporates HTM-compliant ventilation, a relocated and enhanced water treatment plant with backup capacity, and improved staff welfare areas. A bulk acid delivery system was introduced to reduce plastic waste and support sustainability goals.
Managing complexity in a live hospital
Delivered within a live hospital environment, the project required careful phasing and infection control measures to minimise disruption. Space constraints demanded innovative design solutions to maximise functionality while meeting clinical standards.
Creating a future-ready unit
The new unit provides improved privacy for patients, enhanced clinical workflows, and a facility designed to meet growing demand for renal services.
