Construction set to start on new Day Case Surgery and Imaging Centre at Harrogate District Hospital

6th February 2025

Working with Morgan Sindall Construction, Race Cottam Associates is delighted to continue our involvement in the new Day Case Surgery and Imaging Centre at Harrogate District Hospital.

With the building contract recently being signed with Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust (HDFT), we’re excited to be working together to bring this vital project to life.
 
Following planning approval at the end of last year and the successful demolition of the existing Therapy Services building (part of efforts to remove RAAC from the estate), construction is set to begin in the coming weeks.
 
The new two-storey facility, linked to the existing hospital street, will provide state-of-the-art surgical and imaging services. It will house two new operating theatres, two minor procedures treatment rooms, a dedicated day case ward, and an advanced imaging department. The imaging facilities feature two MRI scanners, two CT scanners, three x-ray rooms, seven ultrasound scanners, bone density (Dexa) scanning, and fluoroscopy, which provides real-time imaging of tissue and organs.
 
Kirsty Pearson, Senior Project Architect at Race Cottam Associates, said: “Following comprehensive feasibility studies, hard work and a collaborative approach from all those involved on the project, Race Cottam Associates are proud to support the Trust and Morgan Sindall Construction in delivering a project that will enhance vital healthcare services ensuring high-quality patient care for the community in Harrogate and beyond. It has been a pleasure working with all members of the team and we look forward to seeing the project come to life over the next few months. Thank you to everyone who has helped get the project to this point so far.“
