Magherafelt firm starts work on hospital stroke unit refurbishment

Co Derry headquartered contractor Henry Brothers has started work on a project to expand the Stroke Unit at Lincoln County Hospital.

The £1.9m scheme – the first of two phases – includes the reconfiguration of Navenby Ward to increase capacity at the Stroke Unit.

Two five-bay wards will be merged into a single Hyper Acute Stroke Unit (HASU), with layout changes to ancillary compartments, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing modernisation.

The existing ward will be given a refresh with new joinery, floors, doors, decoration, ceiling and lights.

MD of Magherafelt-based Henry Brothers Ian Taylor said: “We are very pleased to have begun work on this project at Lincoln County Hospital which will improve patient services and provide a more attractive place for hospital staff to work.

“Henry Brothers is currently delivering a number of healthcare schemes for hospitals across the East Midlands, and has recently completed a new Endoscopy Unit in Leicester. We are extremely proud to play a part in supporting our local hospitals as they enhance their buildings and facilities to deliver even better care for patients.”
