Between June and December of 2022 City Build undertook a full refurbishment of Ward 1 at Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral. The Trust’s investment had created a new space for the treatment of dialysis at to transform patient care.
The Dialysis Unit has been relocated and upgraded with new ward spaces, side rooms, and waiting areas, improving patient experience. Dialysis is used to treat patients whose kidneys do not function correctly, meaning their blood is not cleaned efficiently enough of toxins. It filters out unwanted substances by passing a patient’s blood through a machine which acts like a functioning kidney. Patients receiving treatment can be on the unit for up to four hours, three days a week.
The old Dialysis Unit was opened at Arrowe Park 28 years ago. The upgrade is one of several major developments at Arrowe Park Hospital and Clatterbridge Hospital to enhance experience for patients, several of which have been undertaken by City Build.
