Royal Preston’s Covid Nightingale Surge Hub will close this week
As we revealed in February, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust ultimately opted to use the pop-up unit to house non-Covid patients who were no longer in need of acute care - and were typically waiting for support packages to enable them either to go back home or into a care.
Lancashire Teaching Hospitals chief executive Kevin McGee says the Nightingale hub at the Royal Preston has been put to"tremedous" use over the last five months “Whether it comes back, I don't know. I think it's right that it does come down now - we are going into the summer period and we’re also opening [a] new modular ward on the Chorley Hospital site, which will give us more capacity.
The eight Omicron-era Nightingales set up nationwide - which were named after the original Covid overspill facilities established when Covid first struck in 2020 - each had a theoretical capcity of 100 and cost a total of £10.6m to establish, the government confirmed earlier this year. The first Omicron wave at the start of the year did result in a significant rise in the number of patients with Covid who were being treated at LTH facilities, with the figure peaking at 124 on 4th January, compared to 33 a month earlier.
