Kings College Hospital has for several years been a centre of excellence for blood cancer patients and has become a world-renowned centre for patient care and pioneering research work.
The Derek Mitchell Unit was the latest project for Kings to decant and develop into a purpose designed chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant unit.
Following the reconfiguration, upgrading and redevelopment of the existing ward areas the unit was to provide an overall improved clinical experience with.
· 14 beds (two isolation rooms, two teenage/young adult occupancy rooms and ten single bed rooms)
· Clinical rooms
· Modernised patient day room
· Nurses’ station
· Storage facilities
The rooms all contain new facilities to enable loved ones to stay and provide support. The calming wall art and enhanced bedhead panelling makes the rooms less clinical and more comfortable. The design also focused on improved temperature and lighting controls for staff and patients.
