Homerton University Hospital.
Delivering specialist healthcare doorsets to a new elective surgical centre.
SDS supported the development of the Homerton Elective Centre in London, supplying specialist healthcare doorsets for the extension and refurbishment of Block 5 to create a new elective centre.
Working alongside Ansell & Bailey, Quinn London and Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, SDS supplied 134 Dfendoor doorsets as part of the project, supporting the creation of additional surgical capacity and a modern environment for planned patient care.
About the project.
The Homerton Elective Centre was developed to increase the hospital's capacity for planned surgery and improve access to elective treatment. The new centre will enable up to 2,500 additional operations each year, helping to reduce waiting times and improve access to planned surgery.
The project includes two state-of-the-art operating theatres and a dedicated 10-bed ward for surgical patients, creating a purpose-designed environment to support elective surgical care. As part of the development, SDS provided specialist doorsets designed to meet the performance requirements of a modern healthcare environment.
