The project involved the refurbishment of a brand new, high-quality cancer recovery ward at Royal Preston Hospital. PSA delivered a full Mechanical and Electrical design for the refit, including the integration of services for each individual bed on the ward, including medical gasses. This comprehensive refurbishment has transformed the facility into a homely, comfortable space to aid patients’ recovery.

LOCATION: Preston, Lancashire
SERVICES: Mechanical & Electrical Design
CLIENT OBJECTIVES
The client received funding from Rosemere Cancer Foundation to renovate its cancer recovery ward, which plays a vital role in helping patients regain their strength after gruelling cancer treatments. The existing ward was becoming outdated, with services nearing the end of their lifecycle. To provide an uplifting, therapeutic space conducive to healing, a full strip-out and refit were crucial. The goal was to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that prioritises patient comfort and emotional well-being during this delicate recovery phase.
OUR SOLUTION
Through the P22 Procurement system (now P23), PSA was appointed to undertake full mechanical and electrical design for the fit-out, collaborating closely with Tilbury Douglas Engineering and architects Gilling Dod.
Our team worked on designing:
- Heating, cooling and ventilation
- Lighting, data, security, and safety systems
- New wiring, distribution and containment
- Fire alarm replacements
- Nurse call wiring
- Bedhead trunking systems bespoke to each bed space, featuring medical gas points, extra electrical sockets, lighting, and nurse call buttons.
THE OUTCOME
The project was delivered successfully, with the new cancer recovery ward now operational and serving patients at Royal Preston Hospital. The refurbished ward comprises high-end bedrooms finished to an exceptional standard, providing a relaxing, homely environment to support patients’ recovery.
