New Acute Hospital for the South West (NAHSW)
The £267 million NAHSW project is Northern Ireland’s first Private Finance Initiative (PFI) hospital and is scheduled to open in 2012. RPS is providing structural, civil and geotechnical engineering services, as well as acoustic and fire consultancy services on the project.
The 380 – bed hospital will be the first in Northern Ireland to provide all single rooms with en-suite facilities and will include an A & E department, laboratory services, inpatient services (including critical care, major and emergency surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology), as well as outpatient services. This project redefines the provision of hospital care in the UK and Ireland and achieves new standards for hospital design and amenity.
