Bristol Heart Institute

Appointed as part of the P21 process with Laing O’Rourke as the Principle Supply Chain Partner (PSCP) for the Bristol Heart Institute. This is part of an Avon-wide review of health facilities resulting in the Bristol Royal Infirmary remaining a regional centre, but with Cardiothoracic and Paediatric Centres of Excellence.

The buliding is the new flagship building for the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, right in the centre of Bristol.

The state of the art £40m centre unites cardiology surgery aswell as cardiac imaging and research. The facility treats more than 15,000 people annually and carry out up to five heart operations daily. The complex includes an Intensive Care Unit and hybrid theatre which caries out investigative and structural procedures in the same location.

The Bristol Heart Institute was designed in partnership with patients, staff and the public and delivers a full range of diagnostic and interventional treatments for heart conditions to the people of Bristol, the South West and beyond.

Located behind the Bristol Royal Infirmary, the new building is landscaped into the leafy hillside facing Kingsdown and was designed with the patient in mind. Patients have been involved in every stage of the design to make everything easier for those being treated in the building.
