We are proud and delighted to announce that, as a result of the biggest single capital investment at Combined Healthcare since the creation of Harplands Hospital, the first of our new facilities being delivered through Project Chrysalis have now gone live
Project Chrysalis sets out to further improve the inpatient facilities and patient experiences at Harplands Hospital, including a new 16-bed ward, with individual en-suite bedrooms, assisted bathrooms, a gym facility and more. The interior decorations of the new ward are being co-designed with service users to ensure the space, garden and facilities on-site are inclusive and welcoming to them.
To coincide with the ‘go live’ milestone being reached, we have today unveiled a fantastic virtual reality walkthrough of the new faciltiies, so that our staff, stakeholders, service users and their families can experience Project Chrysalis for themselves.
The walkthrough can be viewed on any web browser – or for the full virtual reality experience, via a VR headset such as a Meta Quest. It enables the user to navigate through the full facilities as if they are physically in the environment.
The Project Chrysalis VR Walkthrough is available for free below.
Commenting on the ‘go live’ milestone being reached, Eric Gardiner, Chief Finance Officer at Combined and the project’s Senior Responsible Owner, said:
“It’s great to see these brand new, state-of-the-art facilities starting to be delivered for the people of Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire. The partnership working between everyone involved in getting us to this day has been nothing short of first class. This is just the first stage in a project that will continue to deliver throughout the next two years – to July 2025.
“At Combined Healthcare, we have always said that our aim is to continue to be outstanding – in all we do and how we do it. The unveiling of the first of these new facilities is further positive proof that our commitment to excellence and quality remains at the core of our vision.”
