Skanska UK plc has designed and constructed a large new 169m2 radiopharmacy as part of the nuclear medicine department at the new Barts Heart Centre, part of St Bartholomew’s Hospital.  The Skanska team designed the radiopharmacy in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice guidance for clean room/manufacturing facilities.

The design has been developed in collaboration with the trust and end user head of radiopharmacy Dr Neil Hartman, who said: “The radiopharmacy enables a central London manufacturing facility to support many nuclear medicine departments with radiopharmaceuticals on a daily basis, while also providing scope for increased demand as need be.”
