NUFFIELD HEALTH PROJECT MANAGER

The government brought in new legislation with regard to the washing and sterilising of surgical instruments in the light of the CJD discovery. Nuffield Hospital could not comply with the new regulations within their current facilities.The Sterile Services Decontamination Project involved creating 6 strategically situated Decontamination Centre's each servicing the operating theatre instrument sterilisation requirements for a cluster of up to 9 hospitals. Each unit was created in an existing 1100 m2 industrial unit which was designed and "fitted-out" to healthcare and clinical laboratory standards to conform with the Department of Health’s new guidelines for Decontamination Centres (HBN 13).
