Work starts on £25M Bradford Royal Infirmary project

Designed to provide more appointments for patients and reduce waiting times, Robertson Construction has begun work on a new £25M Endoscopy unit at Bradford Royal Infirmary.

The project is said to be one of the largest NHS schemes of its kind in the country, with the majority of funding coming from NHS England, and the balance from Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Endoscopy is a non-surgical procedure used to look inside the body to screen, diagnose and treat medical conditions.

Chief Operating Officer at the Trust, Saj Azeb, said: “The new unit has been designed specifically to meet the needs of our patients, providing us with more capacity and a much-improved environment.

“It’s just one of several exciting multi-million-pound developments taking place across our hospital sites.”

Jonathan Sizer, Regional Managing Director, Robertson Construction Yorkshire & East Midlands, said: “This Endoscopy unit puts Bradford Teaching Hospitals at the forefront of patient care, creating a world-class facility in West Yorkshire. This project is testament to the Trust’s commitment to patient care and service improvement, and as delivery partner of choice we’ll uphold those values in the build process.”
