Team behind Derby’s hybrid theatre wins collaboration award

The team behind the installation of Royal Derby Hospital’s hybrid theatre, which contains advanced theatre equipment, has been presented with a regional award.

The specialised hybrid theatre opened in September last year following 10 months of construction and engineering works. Due to its advanced equipment and design, clinicians can carry out more advanced vascular, surgical and cardiology procedures, often only needing one procedure that would previously have required two, which saves patients having to be admitted to hospital on multiple occasions.

The team was named winner of the Integration and Collaborative Working Award at the East Midlands Constructing Excellence Awards. They now go head- to-head with other regional winners for the national Construction Excellence Awards at the Grosvenor Hotel in London in November.
