A £3.2 million refurbishment project to improve a department at Warwick Hospital has been completed.

The South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust invested £1.75million into the project while securing £1.45 million from the national funding programme ‘Adapt and Adopt,’ to improve the endoscopy service, which carries out tests to look inside the body.

Improvements include a full refurbishment of Warwick Hospital’s Endoscopy Unit as well as providing an extra treatment room, additional recovery bays, a new preparation room and waiting room and hot water boilers and air handling units installed in all areas.

The revamp has also created additional operational capacity to meet growing demand.

Staff areas and facilities have also been improved during the project with a new booking office and other additions such as changing rooms.

The Trust says the expansion will also provide job opportunities.

"We remained fully operational during the building work, but we are so pleased to now offer an enhanced service and improved environment for more patients.”
