On Site PCI Cath Labs, Carlisle
On Site PCI Cath Labs, Carlisle
P+HS Architects are working on a scheme at Cumberland Infirmary's Heart Centre to expand PCI Cath Lab facilities. North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC) is one of only three acute trusts in the North East & Cumbria which provide Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), an emergency service which significantly improves outcomes for patients who suffer heart attacks. Currently, the Centre has one PCI Catheter Lab which opened in 2011 and delivers over 2,000 procedures every year. The new scheme will see the existing facility replaced and an additional lab provided to reduce waiting times and improve service quality for patients.

Recent good weather has meant that the roof has started to go up (if you look carefully you can just see the cancer centre in the background)
Box gutter between the existing modular building and new extension is now formed and ready for the roof membrane layer to be installed.
