Sisk has been selected to build two new operating theatres for the Lewisham Surgical Centre at University Hospital Lewisham in south-east London.
The bespoke design will ensure efficient patient flow for high-volume, low-complexity surgeries while meeting clinician needs. The project includes two operating theatres, recovery areas and clinical support spaces.
Lewisham Surgical Centre will focus on what’s called 'high volume, low complexity' procedures in the field of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT). ENT has one of the largest specialty waiting lists in the country – over 650,000 as of May 2024 according to NHS data.
Sisk is collaborating with Robertsons under the WeBuildHealthcare partnership, operating through a Memorandum of Agreement. P23 facilitates NHS clients in quickly accessing experienced partners for excellence in NHS capital project delivery.
Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust (LGT) will perform over 5,000 ENT procedures for south-east London at the new Lewisham Surgical Centre. Built by LGT in partnership with the south-east London Integrated Care Board (ICB), the centre aims to significantly reduce waiting times for surgery across the region.
It has all been made possible by national funding delivered via the Targeted Investment Fund, the Department for Health and Social Care’s fund that provides local capital investments to support the NHS in tackling elective care backlogs.
Steven McGee, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Sisk, said: "Sisk is delighted to be appointed and break ground at University Lewisham Hospital. We have been enhancing our healthcare offering over the past couple of years with some key appointments, in order to improve our capability in the healthcare sector. We look forward to working with our local supply chain partners to deliver a world class facility and creating a lasting legacy for the communities of Lewisham and Greenwich."
Ben Travis, Chief Executive, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust stated: "I want to pay tribute to the many people – colleagues, partners and patients who have shared their views – that have got Lewisham Surgical Centre to where it is today. We can’t wait to open this state-of-the-art facility up and start working in partnership to bring down those ENT waiting lists."
The Centre is set to begin operation in late 2025.
