Intended for older patients, the new unit will lead to creation of a 15-bedded functional ward and a ten-bedded dementia ward.

This facility will replace the current facilities located at Bloxwich Hospital.

The new inpatient facility will provide more flexible space for therapeutic care.

Kier’s construction approach will focus on sustainability, including use of low carbon substitutes for power, such as air source heat pumps instead of gas boilers, as well as solar panels on the roof.
