Floyd Slaski are assisting the Trust with a fast track project involving a new build extension to create a stand alone department to create two additional elective theatres which will support the development of elective clinical hubs on the UHL site. The trust clinical strategy includes the development of the Riverside Orthopaedic Centre and the consolidation of Urology elective surgery at UHL in partnership with GSTT. To deliver these two aspirations, additional theatre capacity needs to be created within the UHL site to accommodate the anticipated volume of demand. The Trust requires an increase in their theatre infrastructure in order to:

• Clear the unprecedented levels of waiting list backlog post the Covid-19 pandemic.

• Put the Trust in the strongest position to deliver its clinical strategy and develop UHL as an elective site.

• Strengthen the Trust’s ability to participate in the consolidation of clinical services across South East London (SEL) and the move to creating elective surgical hubs.
