SDEC as we know it

Following the successful completion and decant of the previous ophthalmology unit into its new home, works are underway to transform and build the new SDEC (Same Day Emergency Care) to give St James’ Hospital some well needed extra space and new facilities to combat increasing bed pressures.

Let's take a peek behind the work scenes:

We’re steadily making progress through the planned programme of works, and it’s been amazing to see the difference from where we’ve started to where we are now!

Take a look at what’s been completed:

Successful co-ordination of crane works to fit the new Air-Handling Unit (AHU) to service the A&E department
Installation of roof steel pipework from plant room to AHU ready for installation
98% demolition work complete for Phases 1 & 2
Screed floors 95% complete
85% progression for stud wall partitions and skimming
Steelwork preparations for glazed screen installation
75% ducting work complete
Over halfway through the electrical wiring works to service the new fire alarms and emergency lighting

Meet the team...

How long have you worked with Leeds Teaching Hospital Trust?
I've worked with the Trust for 20 years and counting! Over the span of my career, I'm proud to have worked on many projects with the Trust, and I'm delighted to be working on another hospital improvement project in Leeds that will bring such benefits for patients.

What do you think of the project?
Following the successful completion of the scheme to move the Ophthalmology Unit, I understand how important it is for projects to be delivered on time in sensitive live hospital environments. I know the project will enhance the space in A&E to allow the Trust to continue doing what they do best.

What’s your highlight of works completed so far?
Seeing how the area has transformed from the previous ophthalmology to the new SDEC.

What do you like doing outside of work?
I'm a go carting enthusiast, I always love to be doing something! I'm a very big fan of New York, and I'm looking forward to going for a helicopter tour on my upcoming vacation.
