RNHRD and Therapies Centre, Bath

The hospital is a national leader of rheumatology therapies and chronic pain services and required a new purpose -built outpatient centre to house treatment, care and education services for patients recovering from episodes of illness or injury, or managing long-term conditions. This is the second of three schemes that Integral are delivering in partnership with Kier, the NHS and WSP at the Bath RUH site.

The new three storey centre, houses many of the services previously located at the 280 year old Mineral Hospital, under one roof. These include rheumatology, therapies and pain management services. It creates a centralised and integrated space for staff to work collaboratively, delivering a holistic and patient-centred approach to care and includes a large hydrotherapy pool, group rooms, specialist gym and rehabilitation equipment, and a biologics treatment space.

Integral successfully delivered the installation and commissioning of the full Mechanical and Electrical Services package. In addition we completed refurbishment of the existing GUM Clinic at Ground Floor level, located adjacent to the busy main Entrance of the hospital and while working in close proximity to live and fully functional wards and consulting rooms.
