The Essex Cardiothoracic Centre, Basildon Hospital

The Essex Cardiothoracic centre is a tertiary cardiac care centre comprising operating theatres, catheter laboratories, critical care, surgical wards, outpatients and rehab. The centre also offers post graduate teaching rooms which are designed to allow for easy clinical expansion.

Designed to compliment the existing buildings, the scheme occupies the lower part of the south facing slope of hospital grounds affording the patient areas magnificent views over open fields towards the Thames estuary. The architectural design is focused around the building occupants offering natural daylight to virtually all rooms including the operating suites.
