🚧 Exciting milestone for the new Melton Hospital! 🚧  Site preparation works for the new hospital, delivered as a Public Private Partnership, will begin shortly, marking a major step toward bringing essential healthcare infrastructure to Melbourne’s fast-growing outer west.    As Victoria’s first fully electric hospital, the new Melton Hospital will provide critical services, including 24-hour emergency care, maternity and neonatal support, intensive care, mental health services, and more. The new hospital will improve accessibility to health services and enhance outcomes for the people of Melton and the broader region.     AECOM has proudly supported the Victorian Health Building Authority and Western Health from the master plan and feasibility stage, through to providing technical advisory services to the state in its Public Private Partnership procurement. We are thrilled to continue in the state advisor role supporting this transformative project as it progresses into the delivery phase, ensuring it meets the healthcare needs of Melbourne’s growing population.    Together, we are playing a role in delivering a world-class hospital for the Melton and outer west communities.  #HealthInfrastructure #MeltonHospital #AECOM #EngineeringExcellence #PublicHealth

A host of hospital building projects in England are being delayed with some having to wait up to 14 years before work starts, the government says. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the plans - which formed part of a 2019 election promise by the Conservatives for 40 new hospitals by 2030 - were not affordable. Streeting said: "The programme we inherited was unfunded and undeliverable. "Not a single new hospital was built in the past five years, and there was no credible funding plan to build forty in the next five years. "Today we are setting out an honest, funded, and deliverable programme to rebuild our NHS."

🏥 The NHS is under immense pressure to meet urgent healthcare needs. Traditional construction isn't always the answer. Fortunately, modular construction alongside Managed Service and Revenue solutions are changing the game. Our facilities are pre-assembled in factory-controlled conditions up to 90% complete and can be quickly installed on-site. This true offsite construction method allows the NHS to respond quickly to healthcare crises whilst causing minimal disruption to live hospital sites. In addition to this unrivalled construction approach we offer unique VAT recoverable Manged Service and Pay Per Use Agreements, that are capable of falling inline with any budget constraints. Learn more about how our true offsite construction and flexible procurement solutions are helping the NHS deliver high-quality, efficient, and accessible healthcare services at www.healthcarehire.co.uk #NHS #ModularConstruction #HealthcareSolutions

Back in 2019 when the then Government announced it would deliver ‘40 new hospitals by 2030', there was a degree of cynicism about how realistic the plan was, and whether many of the projects could really be classified as new builds. A leaked government 'playbook' - reported by Health Service Journal in 2021 - on how to describe the projects added to the concern. Over time, that cynicism has understandably increased and yesterday we saw what felt inevitable for many months - that the New Hospital Programme would need to be reset. The upshot from Wes Streeting's announcement to Parliament yesterday is that the remaining schemes in the programme that were waiting for the go ahead will be allocated to one of three 'wave' groups: ✔️ Wave 1 schemes are expected to begin construction between 2025 and 2030. These schemes include hospitals constructed primarily using RAAC, and have been prioritised as patient and staff safety is paramount. ✔️ Wave 2 schemes are expected to start between 2030 and 2035. ✔️ Wave 3 schemes are expected to start between 2035 and 2039. 📆 On the one hand, the revised timetable feels more realistic and credible and the government will now be held to account for delivering against it. We should also remember that it provided extra capital investment in the last #Budget But on the other hand, it cannot be underestimated how much of a blow this is to patients, NHS staff and those leaders who have had their projects delayed by years. They have to continue to make do in very difficult conditions. At NHS Confederation we've been hearing from many members over the last 24 hours who are deeply disappointed about the outcome. Their concerns fall into three categories: 1️⃣ Ongoing risks to patient safety. 2️⃣ The negative impact this will have on reducing waiting lists and improving productivity. 3️⃣ The ongoing costs of maintaining old buildings. One member says the delay will add up to £150m to the cost of their new hospital as they will have more years of propping up an old building. As Lord Darzi said in his government review of the #NHS , the NHS has been starved of capital in the last decade, with £37 billion of under-investment. We are left with many hospitals that have leaking pipes and collapsed roofs, and that's not to mention the huge impact on mental health, community and primary care estates. So, while the reset of the NHP was much needed, this is a huge setback to the sector and will have significant consequences across the country. It also again shows that our current approach to allocating scarce capital investment is grossly inefficient and in need of reform. To help restore the public and NHS staff confidence that will be damaged by this, the government needs to stick to the revised timetable and deliver on its commitments. NHS Confederation Acute Care Director Rory Deighton has been making these points on behalf of our members in the national media today, including on BBC News this morning.

As we step into 2025, addressing staff burnout in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) is more critical than ever. High turnover rates—exceeding 50%—highlight the urgent need for sustainable solutions. Research shows that introducing supportive care models and enhanced training programs can reduce burnout by up to 35%. At Evolutionary Healthcare, we’re committed to partnering with SNFs to create environments where both residents and staff can thrive. Let’s make 2025 the year of workplace well-being and resilience in senior care. Together, we can set new benchmarks for quality and compassion. #EvolutionaryHealthcare #EVOHC #StaffWellbeing #SNFLeadership #NewYear2025 #SNFs #OMT #PainManagement #ALF #Partnernship

😱 Can you believe this is a modular facility? Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) is becoming increasingly adopted in the NHS, thanks to the enhanced speed of delivery it can offer. But did you know that modular facilities can also be procured via flexible financial solutions? Take a look at the work we did alongside modular specialists McAvoy, where we implemented the finance solution for 2 no. 48-bed ward facilities for Good Hope Hospital and Heartlands Hospital, part of University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. 🔗https://lnkd.in/gViN-uMC If you’re wondering what a modular facility *really* looks like… scroll no further👇 #modularconstruction #healthcareconstruction #procurement
