Boston Ward 8B

The new stroke ward opened at Boston’s Pilgrim Hospital, following the major refurbishment project in conjunction with Lindum Construction. The unit has moved down a floor, to Ward 8B on the eighth level of the Sibsey Road main hospital tower block, as part of an ongoing capital investment project by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT).

The state-of-the-art ward offers patients 24 beds, with a bespoke thrombolysis room and rehabilitation gym and a suite of brand new computers. As part of this renovation work the old electrical services were completely stripped out and new electrical facilities installed.

GRS successfully completed this project, working to a tight project schedule and deadline. Work to transform a ward such as this would usually take around 22 weeks, but this project was completed in just 14 weeks so the services Ward 8B offer were up and running as soon as possible.

A key element of this project was working on a live hospital site, which means continuous communication and accommodating the hospital trusts need’s was vital to prevent interference with key life saving services.
