Refurbishing operating theatres

Refurbishing operating theatres is one of the most complex challenges in healthcare delivery. A theatre is never just one room - it’s a connected suite of anaesthetic, scrub, recovery and support spaces, often linked to multiple other theatres. 

Work must be carefully planned around theatre lists. Noise, vibration and access restrictions can directly affect surgery, meaning evening, weekend or out‑of‑hours working is often required. Even small delays can impact surgical schedules and hospital capacity. 

The key to success is close collaboration with hospital teams. Smaller projects can sometimes be disruptive, yet they rarely justify extensive temporary arrangements, so these need to be carefully managed. 

By working as part of the operational team, we design solutions that are practical, achievable and supportive of patient care within live hospital environments.
