Infection prevention

A third of beds in the newly built part of the hospital are in single-bed rooms with en-suite facilities and the remaining beds are in four-bed rooms with their own shower room.

Each room has fewer beds and the space between each bed is 10% bigger than the current standards. This ensures that rooms are easier to clean and provides segregation if needed. For more details about how the Trust reduces infection rates click here.
