Emergency Department Expansion

From pressure point to patient-first

Expanding and futureproofing a critical emergency care facility

Client

East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust


Location

Margate and Ashford, Kent



Sectors


Completion

2024


Challenge

The expansion of the Emergency Department was driven by increasing patient numbers and the urgent need to enhance capacity, flow, and operational efficiency. Delivering this complex project within a live hospital environment posed significant challenges – including managing disruption, ensuring patient and staff safety, and maintaining full operational continuity throughout the build.

Solution

G&T provided Project Management services from inception to completion, coordinating all stakeholders to maintain clinical operations while progressing construction. We developed and managed a phased delivery strategy that allowed for critical works to take place without interrupting emergency services. Our close collaboration with clinical teams, design consultants, and contractors enabled quick, informed decision-making, helping to keep the project on track despite the highly sensitive environment.

Outcome

The expanded Emergency Department now delivers a significantly improved patient experience, with increased capacity, streamlined layouts, and upgraded clinical facilities. G&T’s leadership ensured that the project was delivered safely, on time, and with minimal disruption to hospital operations. The result is a future-ready facility that enhances emergency care provision and supports the Trust’s long-term healthcare strategy.
