Combined Healthcare is part way through its capital investment programme, known as Project Chrysalis, to eradicate dormitory accommodation across the inpatient wards at Harplands Hospital.
The changes will further enhance the inpatient facilities and improve the privacy and dignity arrangements for the patients. Project Chrysalis also provides a modern, state-of-the-art working environment for staff.
Project Chrysalis continues to progress on Ward 2 and the work has been positively received. The updates and changes have provided many benefits to service users and staff and this is reflected in their complimentary feedback for the works already completed.
Combined Healthcare has released a progress update video of the developments so far. The video captures comments and observations from staff on their experience of the new facilities and highlights the partnership with Interclass, a Midlands-based construction company which is delivering the work.
Lucy Walton and Lucy Didcote, ward managers of Ward 1 and Ward 3 respectively, have expressed how modern, open, airy and bright the new facilities are. They comment on how the communal spaces are more open and accessible for patients and how the en-suite bathrooms provide more privacy and dignity.
You can view the video on YouTube or below.
360-degree walkthroughs have been created so people are able to virtually explore the new wards. View the Ward 1 walkthrough here and the Ward 2 walkthrough here.
