Henry Brothers commences £1.9m stroke unit refurbishment at Lincoln County Hospital

Northern Ireland-based contractor Henry Brothers has commenced work on a project to expand the Stroke Unit at Lincoln County Hospital in England, representing a £1.9 million (€2.2 million) investment in the first of two phases, News Letter UK reported.

The scheme includes the reconfiguration of Navenby Ward to increase capacity at the Stroke Unit. Two five-bay wards will be merged into a single Hyper Acute Stroke Unit, with layout changes to ancillary compartments, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing modernisation.

The existing ward will be given a refresh with new joinery, floors, doors, decoration, ceiling and lights. Following refurbishment of Navenby Ward, phase two of the scheme will begin on refurbishing the existing Stroke Unit.

Ian Taylor, managing director of Henry Brothers, said the company is pleased to have begun work on this project which will improve patient services and provide a more attractive place for hospital staff to work.
