00:00Tell me where are we? So this is the ground floor of the new building which will be the acute medical floor for any of the patients who have been referred in either from the emergency department or the general practitioners of GPs into medicine. So these are general medical patients who are coming in on their first admission into the hospital. Fab. We're a year into the project. How's it going? It's going really well. We're on programmes where we should be in terms of times. Really grateful for all the patients and staff that are bearing with us because it's a big upheaval to the site and there's
00:29obviously with all of the car parking and changes around the site. It's really grateful for them because it's helped us with the changes that are happening. But we're on target where we should be and as you can see it's progressing well and we're really happy with it. The emergency department is ongoing as well. They've opened the first part of Mays and Resus earlier. I think it was March of this year and the next stage is coming online in September and that continues as well alongside this. Remind me kind of when does it end? When are we completing? So the building we finished into 20th earlier in part of 2019.
00:5928. And then we'll have a period of transitioning and getting the building ready for more clinical use. All of our nurses and all our clinicians are happy working in it and they'll transition across the services from treatment and helping together to have our new clinical model running by the end of 20th of 28.
01:15And what difference is this new facility going to make to people of structure?
01:19That's going to be a massive difference to healthcare right across here. All of our acute specialties will be together on one site so patients will be able to see the right specialists sooner.
01:27Decisions will be made earlier, particularly thanks for staying on the shelter as well, but all of our strategies together on one site at this site means we can get the right care.
01:36Over in Telford we'll have all of our planned care at one site ring fenced without the emergencies alongside it so that patients won't be cancelled as often as they have been, hopefully not at all,
01:45but there'll be far fewer cancellations and our planned elective care can happen in a seamless way, which is really important in the winter or hopefully not never again,
01:53but at the time of pandemic and infections and things like that, we can ring fenced our elective care and make sure patients aren't cancelled.
01:59Great, thank you so much.
02:00So the building in front of us, which is currently used for the emergency spot for our ambulance reception area, that building will be moved out and reused somewhere else so that we have space to build the new children's emergency department at the front of the new emergency department.
02:15So all of the children's care will come into, emergency care will come into the Royal Shrewsbury site and we'll have new paediatric emergency medicine consultants working in a new children's area within the new department.
02:26So this area here, it's going to be a new Sky Garden, so our intensive care patients here for a long period of time can get into the open air with the conditions that are required to do this because these are our sickest patients in the hospital and if they're in there for a long time, it's a really great facility that we don't currently have.
02:56So what is this bit of kit doing, sir? Obviously it's a little gadget, a little robot. What's it actually doing for you?
03:13So it's just setting out the internal partitions.
03:17Oh, so it's marking out from a plan where all the walls and stuff go?
03:21Yeah, so we produced the CAD drawing, insert it into this, and as you can see, it'll set out the walls.
03:30So this will be the shower area where we're stood now.
