The Cataract & Minor Procedures Theatre project is an extension to the Operating Department and consists of a fitout to the existing shall and core over CT suite and expansion of the plantroom over to create a the new theatre suite. The new Theatre 9 is dedicated for cataract and minor surgeries. The fitout forms a suite with an independent theatre ancillary facilities and recovery area. Clinical requirements for hygiene, functionality, finishing, radiation protection and maintenance servicing, have all been key design drivers. Working within a live acute hospital with connections to the existing hospital services while maintaining all clinical and staffing operational has also been a key part of this project design.
