Testimonials

“

We have had the pleasure of working with PHd architects on a very special project over the past 5 years. This space is the first of its kind in the UK, and sets the standard for the environment in which these families and their babies should be cared for in. Every step of the project was taken with a wonderful team of bereaved families, who shaped the spaces and provided their advice and views, true collaboration between architects, clinicians, & estates. The team at phd really engaged with this integrated process, getting to know the families, and providing some brilliant solutions, and beautiful designs. The parents we worked with have fed back they really felt listened to and could see where the team had incorporated their views.”

“

I would like to express my sincere thanks for all of your hard work and efforts in its development. It is even better than we envisaged and we really are over the moon. It was so lovely to be involved in the design process and be consulted every step of the way.  From my point of view, it meant a great deal for me to be able to work with the team to get things just right and I think we have achieved it. Thank you for putting up with my many requests and being so accommodating. The new suite looks just stunning and I will feel immensely proud to welcome in our first patients and staff.”

“

This is an exciting development for the people of Worcestershire. We are extremely pleased to see the opening of new facilities in Worcestershire that will benefit local people and help us to continue providing excellent patient care.The improvements are very much patient-focused and will provide modern state-of–the-art facilities, allowing us to continue to provide optimal care for patients in a timely manner, making diagnostic tests more accessible to the people of Worcestershire, with potentially shorter waiting times, delivered away from the main hospital sites, and to deliver exceptional patient care with an improved patient experience.”

“

The new development will provide a modern, spacious learning environment for our older pupils. It will also create designated areas for the teaching of music and for focused teaching groups. We are delighted by the support that we have received in achieving this aim.”

“

This is an exciting new development which will help to improve clinical outcomes and the quality of the patient’s experience. I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in shaping this new facility. The Community Diagnostic Centre has only been open for a matter of weeks, but it is already making a real difference for our communities. Our teams have received really positive feedback from patients, with many commenting on the excellent service, state-of-the-art facilities.”

“

This is a big step forward locally in helping us to clear the backlogs from the Covid pandemic and enable us to treat more people locally without long journey times to Addenbrookes and elsewhere. This means patients will not have to travel so far for certain checks, scans and tests and will be able to access services much closer to home.”

“

We have and continue to have a good relationship with PHD. The support they have offered to us with several projects have meant that we have been able to produce projects, in line with the briefs issued. Recently PHD have worked hard, helping to deliver a Bereavement Centre at the Birmingham Women’s hospital. This project has been very testing, both emotionally and physically. Countless meetings, often out of hours with Bereaved families, capturing the brief and ensuring it is interpreted properly and the vision added to the scope. I look forward to working with PHD in the future.”

“

We’re all very proud of what we can offer the local community. It’s all state of the art right the way through, from the procedure rooms to the decontamination, which is all high tech and ready to go. Everyone’s very keen and proud of what we’ve achieved. We’ve got pods set up now, as we didn’t have before. It’s very individualised we can focus care more on the individual, which we didn’t have that luxury before. It’s very forward thinking, very professional. It’s very exciting.”

“

On behalf of our Integrated Care System, I want to thank everyone involved in its development and the residents who engaged right at the start of its planning and design who overwhelmingly supported the initiative and the benefits it will bring.”

“

These facilities will bring much-needed increased theatre capacity… The development also ensures we have theatre accommodation that is fit for purpose in the future. This will undoubtedly result in improved patient experience, efficiency and staff morale.”

“

Thank you to all my colleagues at the Trust and across the healthcare system, and our patients and the public, who have been involved in shaping this development – it is wonderful to see those plans and ideas come to fruition.”

“

Before we were just part of the hospital but now we have a unified centre. It is nice when you get positive feedback and when your peers come and say 'crikey, that's very good!'. We have people coming from other units to have a look because they have done similar things and they want to see how we have done it.”
