Sir Alex opens the doors for another great Manchester Team
University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust's (UHSM) new state of the art Bronchoscopy Unit was officially opened by Sir Alex Ferguson on Monday. The Unit has been welcoming patients since July this year, with 92 year old, Robert Flatters being the first patient to visit the centre. The new £1 million unit will treble the number of patients that can be treated at UHSM with these endobronchial techniques.
The Unit was developed through a partnership between UHSM and The Medicines Evaluation Unit. MHA Architects were responsible for its design from inception to completion. The unit, thought to be the largest centre of its kind in the country, provides 4 consulting rooms, 3 procedure rooms, an 8 bed recovery ward for out-patient/day-patient use and ancillary accommodation. The scheme adjoins the existing UHSM North West Lung Centre and will compliment development along Southmoor Road as a research corridor of national significance.
MHA Director, Jimmy Lennon said: "we are delighted to have been able to assist UHSM and the MEU in bringing this project to completion and we were pleased to receive extremely positive feedback from both the Hospital Trust and the users at today's opening ceremony. We have seen first-hand the difference this Unit is making to people's lives and are proud to have contributed to it."
