Luton and Dunstable Hospital can now provide treatments including coronary angiograms, coronary angioplasty, and pacemaker implantation, to patients who would previously have had to travel long distances to hospitals in London and Bedfordshire, following its opening of a new £5.5 million cardiac centre.
Constructed under ProCure21 on a former courtyard and old records storage area by Osborne, it contains a catheterisation laboratory, two clinical rooms, a six-bed recovery ward, three single-bed recovery rooms, a waiting room, and staff facilities. After demolition of internal structural walls to create space for the new catheterisation laboratory, replacement walls were erected from steel, brick, and blockwork, to shape the layout, after which mechanical and electrical services were installed to connect important ventilation equipment.
