Doncaster Royal Infirmary is benefitting from a £19.8 million investment, which will see the relocation and refurbishment of key areas, including the Surgical Same Day Emergency Care (SSDEC) department and the former Discharge Lounge, as part of a broader redevelopment plan for the site.
As part of this work, the current Discharge Lounge in the East Ward Block will be transformed into the new SSDEC, with the lounge itself moving to the former Hydrotherapy department at the front of the site’s West Ward Block.
These changes are the first phase of a larger project that will eventually see the Department of Critical Care relocated to a new, purpose-built space to enhance accessibility and improve patient care.
Works have started to relocate SSDEC and Discharge Lounge with completion set for late Spring 2025.
Doncaster Royal Infirmary refurbishment plans
In 2024, the Trust proposed a scheme of improvements to the DRI site, designed to meet safety requirements associated with the aging estate, enhance the environment for healthcare provision, and reduce the burden of maintenance costs.
