Orthopaedic Theatre

LED Architects worked with Taunton & Somerset Hospital on the delivery of a third orthopaedic operating theatre at Musgrove Park Hospital, increasing specialist surgical capacity within the existing hospital estate.

The project required the careful integration of a highly serviced clinical environment into an operational hospital. The design coordinated the architectural layout with specialist theatre equipment, medical gases, ventilation, electrical services and infection-control requirements, while maintaining the flows and adjacencies required by clinical staff.

Working within a live acute hospital demanded close coordination with the Trust, clinical teams, engineers and contractors so that construction activities could be managed around continuing healthcare operations. The completed theatre provides a robust, modern environment designed to support safe and efficient orthopaedic surgery.
