Willmott Dixon has kicked off main construction on the first hospital rebuild under Wave 1 of the Government\u2019s flagship New Hospital Programme.<\/p>\n

The firm has broken ground on a \u00a3140m Emergency Care Building at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.<\/p>\n

Procured under ProCure23 with Mace, the four-storey facility will double capacity for University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, replacing the ageing 1970s-built emergency department with a new modern care hub due to open in 2028\/29.<\/p>\n

\n

The new facility will house a major Emergency Department and Same Day Emergency Care unit, with paediatric emergency services moving into refurbished existing space once complete.<\/p>\n

Upper floors will contain four interventional radiology theatres and five surgical theatres for emergency and planned work, alongside new imaging suites, recovery areas, and improved staff facilities.<\/p>\n

Programme director Stuart Windsor said: \u201cIt has been a long journey to get to today, but we will now finally see the new Emergency Care Building start to rise from the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

Willmott Dixon is promising to deliver major social value through its Building Lives Academy, offering apprenticeships and employment support while sourcing materials and labour locally across the South West.<\/p>\n

The scheme joins Willmott Dixon\u2019s expanding healthcare portfolio, which includes the \u00a330m Barnes Hospital redevelopment in London and the \u00a3150m Springfield University Hospital rebuild in Wandsworth.<\/p>\n
