epsom hospital operating theatre
Working for the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC), Apollo successfully delivered the new operating suite and associated bed bays and critical care unit. SWLEOC is recognised as the largest joint replacement centre in the UK and one of the largest in Europe, performing around 6,300 procedures annually
the challenge
The new operating theatre at SWLEOC was located within the main operating suite, with the other theatres (including recovery suites and critical care units) remaining in use throughout.
This placed extensive restrictions upon materials delivery, removal of waste and the movement of operatives to and from the construction area.

Apollo worked collaboratively with the local authority to facilitate weekend road closures over two consecutive weekends. The site team were on hand all weekend to manage the road closures, ensuring regular communication with the neighbours and ensuring the safety of all those involved. The Apollo team were in regular liaison with all residents and businesses leading up to the road closure, facilitating letter drops, newsletters and coffee mornings
