SG has been appointed digital and innovation healthcare advisor by The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT). Working with sub-consultant Atos and a panel of specialist digital health advisors, Mott MacDonald will support the preparation of a digitally led design brief for a new hospital building in Leeds City Centre as well as a new pathology facility at the St James University Hospital (SJUH).
As part of the Leeds Hospital of the Future Project, the programme will transform healthcare for patients in the region by creating a state-of-the-art hospital in the city centre. Covering 90,000m2, the new hospital will include a new children’s and adults’ hospitals, as well as new operating theatres and critical care facilities. These are intended to be connected to the retained Jubilee building which shall remain the primary acute services building, and which shall continue to operate as the major trauma building.
The Trust also plans to build a new 5000m2 high-tech and efficiently designed pathology facility at the SJUH site which will centralise its pathology services as one of several newly established hubs across West Yorkshire and Harrogate. This new facility is intended to be one of three specialist blood sciences hubs and the single microbiology hub for the region.
