Introduction:
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust has started constructing a new Outpatient Department at West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance.
Features:
The project aims to provide modern, technologically-advanced facilities for staff to deliver face-to-face and virtual care in a patient-focused environment.
It will be the first major project within an RCHT site to integrate solar panels into its design, generating sustainable energy to support the unit.
The new outpatient department reflects the trust's goal of providing more health and care services to patients as close to their homes as possible.
