The first patients to use a new £24m purpose-built treatment hub in Shropshire have praised its facilities which hospital bosses say will reduce waiting times. The site at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford has four theatres and individual patient pods and is able to conduct planned day surgery.
Nearly 300 adults and children have undergone procedures there since it opened on 10 June, the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust said. Dr Steve McKew, deputy medical director, said the hub meant the number of same-day operations can be "significantly increased". “This is a fantastic investment in our PRH hospital site, and it is brilliant to see the hub open and already making a huge difference for our patients," he said. “Planned-care services will be provided in the hub all year round, which means we are able to significantly increase the number of same day operations that can take place.Jayne Hunt, the first patient to undergo treatment in the hub, said: “Right from the off, I was well looked after and kept informed.Under the plans, the Telford hospital will lose its full accident and emergency unit, with the Royal Shrewsbury becoming the main emergency centre.But the Princess Royal Hospital will specialise in planned care for patients, the trust has said.Mental health team 'are gold standard'New mental health and wellbeing hub opens its doors
