Case Study

St Barts Cancer Assessment Unit (CAU)

Our Verona treatment chairs were chosen to fit in with the well designed and appealing healing environment. 

Brief

Ocura Healthcare Furniture was part of a capital project to develop a new Cancer Acute Assessment Unit (CAU) on the 7th floor of the King George V Building at St Bartholomew’s Hospital (SBH). This project has increased total capacity and flexibility of space across 5th and 7th floor cancer areas. To enable this, staff and services previously located in the administrative offices on the 5th floor have moved to the SMLG offices to create capacity for expanded clinical space. 

Approach

Further to supplying the successful Verona Chairs to the Chemotherapy Day Unit we were involved along with the Architect and also the Projects Team in connection with space planning the new areas from the plans and proposing various priced options. Various meetings were had on site to discuss specifications with management / clinical staff / visual arts to ensure a well designed and appealing healing environment. Information including light reflective values (LRV) was provided to ensure suitable colour differentiation of the furniture vs the flooring and wall finishes to ensure best user experience. Details were provided as to VAT exemption to ensure best possible value for the tight capital budget. Due to delays on site we were able to postpone the installed delivery until a mutually convenient date was agreed. 

Outcome

Verona Chairs were purchased for the 7th floor with emergency foot control pedals to ensure fast emergency recline. Bostons were opted for in the 5th Floor area due to confined space and to maximise the number of patients that could be treated. The Baltimore Seating was purchased to match in with the same seating that was purchased previously for the main reception area on Floor 7

The whole team at the Trust were extremely happy with the end result and Robin Harmer was delighted to have been involved in such an important cancer care project.
