Grand re-opening of Theatre 5 at RDH
Today we officially re-opened Theatre 5 in General Theatres at RDH after it underwent a complete upgrade.
That's not the end of the upgrades either, as we're working on Gynae Theatre 2 this month and General Theatre 6 for March, whilst we're also looking to open two new state-of-the-art orthopaedic theatres at QHB in April!
All three RDH theatres are being upgraded by KARL STORZ as part of the managed service, with a complete revamp of the theatres set to include the installation of the latest OR1 technology, including 4K screens and new lights.
Nigel Roberts, Deputy General Manager for Theatres, said: “This is a great day for UHDB, for the staff and patients with the opening of the new theatre. This now means that the surgical team have a clearer view of the anatomy and there are multiple screens in theatre to aid teaching nationally.
"With the new technology comes additional storage of images, whether photos or videos, which will form part of a patients notes or used for teaching purposes.
“This has been a year in the planning, so thanks to all staff disciplines across UHDB for making this a success story.”
