Princess Royal Hospital Day Case Elective Hub

We designed the hub to make planned care feel clear, calm and dependable. When people know what happens next, the day feels less daunting. When clinical teams have the right spaces in the right order, care flows more smoothly. 

We shaped intuitive journeys from arrival to discharge, with privacy built in at every step. Consultation pods support sensitive conversations. Recovery spaces feel restful and well-organised, helping people settle before heading home.

For NHS colleagues, we focused on layouts that reduce unnecessary travel and ease pinch points. Clear adjacencies between theatres, preparation and recovery support safe routines and consistent infection control. Two ultra clean ventilation (UCV) hooded theatres add resilience for specialist procedures.

We also looked after everyday wellbeing. Dedicated team areas offer moments to pause between cases. It is a small change that can make busy days feel more manageable.

By reworking existing space carefully and responsibly, we helped the Trust grow elective capacity without losing what already works. That means more day-case appointments, shorter waits and a modern, efficient hub that supports healthier outcomes for communities across Shropshire and the Midlands.
