How has the design responded to the specific needs of SaTH?

Our design has been shaped through close collaboration with The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust’s clinicians and estates teams. This has ensured the scheme responds directly to clinical workflows, patient pathways and operational requirements, while providing flexibility to adapt to future models of care across the Trust’s estate.

How does the project support improved healthcare across the SaTH region?

The scheme will help the Trust deliver modern, resilient healthcare facilities that support high quality care for communities across Shropshire, Telford and Mid Wales. By creating adaptable environments that prioritise patient experience and staff wellbeing, the project supports SaTH’s ambition to meet growing demand and improve healthcare outcomes across the region.

What role has collaboration played in shaping the design?

Collaboration has been central to the project’s success. The design has been developed through a joined-up approach across our healthcare teams, drawing on expertise from across our UK offices alongside close engagement with the Trust and wider project partners. This collective way of working has allowed complex clinical requirements to be addressed efficiently and thoughtfully.

How does the project align with wider NHS and government healthcare priorities?

The project reflects a shared commitment to delivering improved healthcare facilities in line with national investment in health infrastructure and NHS priorities around resilience, efficiency and long-term value. By supporting flexible, future-ready healthcare environments, the scheme helps the Trust respond to change while continuing to deliver high-quality care for local communities.

AHR Hospital Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Architecture Ward Topping out

We were proud to join The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and the wider project team to mark the topping out of the new ward block as part of this important healthcare development.

A significant milestone in the delivery of improved facilities for patients and colleagues, the event was also a great opportunity to celebrate the progress made on site and the collective effort behind the project that will play a vital role in strengthening healthcare provision across the region.

Improving care for the communities it will serve

Now known as the ‘Hospitals Transformation Programme’ (HTP), the project involves refurbishing, remodelling and extending the existing Emergency Department, along with constructing a new hospital design, all to enhance care for local people.

Designed to optimise healthcare across two sites, Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) in Telford and Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH) in Shrewsbury, SaTH will see RSH becoming the centre for critical care, housing the Emergency Department, Critical Care Unit and Women & Children’s services, while PRH will become the Planned Care site, accommodating the Urgent Treatment Centre and Surgical Centre.

By creating modern, adaptable spaces that can evolve with changing models of care, the scheme will help the Trust respond to growing demand and continue delivering high quality care for local communities.

Reaching this milestone is a moment of real pride for everyone involved, reflecting the dedication of the teams, all working together to support better healthcare outcomes for the region.
