Work on Great Western Hospital’s major re-design and revamp of its emergency department (formerly known as ‘A&E’) has gone so well that they have decided to continue working through the winter months and expect the changes to be complete by Christmas.
The revamp was begun in August.
GWH announced: “The major construction work is now complete to a very high standard, this includes work on the new children’s unit, the main reception and new nurse/doctor working area. Initial feedback has been very positive – staff and patients have said it looks fresh, modern and welcoming.”
GWH is still raising funds for some of the finishing touches – such as toys and games for the new dedicated children’s emergency department.
