We are one of the largest providers of specialist hospital services in the country and our new hospital will go beyond the delivery of excellent patient care for the people of Leeds and will improve the lives of those both regionally and nationally.
Designing a digital hospital
We are working with architects, designers, research bodies and health-tech industries, to design a SMART, digitally enabled hospital. The new hospital will incorporate leading-edge medical and building management technologies, making it flexible enough to quickly introduce future innovations. This means it will be able to integrate emerging methods of diagnosis and treatment, responding to new challenges. This adaptability means it will remain fit for purpose decades into the future.
Designing an efficient hospital
The new hospital will improve the care environment for patients and staff. It will feature state-of-the-art medical equipment, communications technology, and digital scheduling & appointment systems. Together with new care models, these innovations will support single rooms for all inpatients. Patients receiving outpatient care will have more choice about the way they receive their care. Diagnostic testing will be more efficient and navigating around the hospital will be easier.
Designing a sustainable hospital
Our new hospital will be a net zero carbon, clean energy building. It has been designed and positioned to make the most of natural daylight and solar gain, without overheating. Air source heat pumps will provide all hot water and heating. The hospital will be cooled via heat recovery systems. More than 2,000 square metres of solar panels will support the hospital’s energy needs. Sensitive to climate
