Client’s requirements
Salford City Council, working with Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust put forward a requirement for a new 60 bed Intermediate Care Unit (IMU) at the Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust site. The new IMU is to offer an increased care provision to the people of Greater Manchester as well as relief to acute wards at the neighbouring Salford Royal Hospital through the creation of a new rehabilitation facility.
Patients at the new IMU will have access to comfortable, engaging shared spaces at both levels to encourage social interaction and independence, whilst providing functional areas for dining, rehabilitation and physiotherapy. The new two storey IMU at Salford Royal aims to promote care within a bespoke facility, to enable patients to rehabilitate quickly and safely, ensuring they are fully ready to return back home or into the community and prevent a ‘bounce-back’ into the acute Hospital environment.
