The Requirements
York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust contacted Portakabin with an urgent requirement for additional space. Insufficient isolation beds in critical care during the pandemic meant that clinical teams had to move patients into theatre and recovery spaces.
The building needed to be installed adjacent to the existing Emergency Department on which renovations were also taking place. The trust needed a partner who could deliver within a quick timescale on a challenging site footprint, making modular an excellent solution.
