Project Completion: Same Day Emergency Care, William Harvey Hospital

We recently completed works on the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) unit at William Harvey Hospital in Ashford.

The project was delivered for 2gether Support Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, and formed part of a major investment funded by NHS England in SDEC facilities at QEQM Hospital in Margate and William Harvey Hospital in Ashford.

Our works included new mechanical, electrical and medical gas installations and a complete internal fit-out of the existing hospital accommodation, creating dedicated clinical spaces including consultation and procedure rooms, treatment bays and side rooms.

The unit is expected to accommodate an additional 60 patients a day, helping to ease pressure on the emergency department and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions. Patients can receive specialist assessment, diagnosis and treatment, returning home the same day where clinically safe.

We are proud to have delivered these facilities to support hospital staff and improve the experience of patients across East Kent.
