This brochure outlines the experiences of SHP in the delivery of women’s care facilities, from gestation to birth.
The partners and staff of Strategic Healthcare
Planning have been involved in the delivery
of facilities for the care of women since 1978
with a commission at North Staffs City General
Hospital.
Since then the Organisation has been involved
in a full range of service models from tertiary
to general hospital to primary care whilst also
contributing to the production of national
guidance.
This document outlines the contribution SHP
has made to the care of patients through the
development of appropriate facilities that
provide for modern techniques and modalities.

Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS TrustNew Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton
Women’s Unit
In 2008 SHP obtained Planning Approval from Wolverhampton City Council to the strategy for the overall redevelopment of the New Cross Hospital site that included a phased replacement of its older buildings. One of the latter phases is the replacement of the existing Women’s Unit. The Trust determined that it was unable to wait for an improvement to women’s services and commissioned SHP to remodel the current building.
This involved the improvement to various facilities including:• Delivery suite• Operating theatres• Neonatal unit• Inpatient wards• Midwifery-led unit• Administration offices
In 2013 the Trust considered the impact on the service that reviewed demographic changes that could require the building to increase its births by up to a further 1000 babies. SHP developed the strategy in response to this increased demand.

In 1978 one of the Partners at SHP commenced a 40 year journey with the provision of facilities for maternity services on the City General site that culminated with a new, integrated ‘state of the art’ hospital procured through the NHS Procure 21 route.
Those early years saw developments for delivery, neonatal, mother & baby unit, and several business cases.
The development of a new PFI Hospital for the Trust provided the opportunity to create a new facility.

Strategic Healthcare Planning (SHP) has undertaken health planning work for the University Hospital of North Staffordshire (NHS) Trust for many years and this has been of a consistently high standard and has shown a high degree of innovation. A major strength of SHP is the way in which they have engaged all stakeholders but particularly clinical teams within the Trust. This has been evidenced by the successful outcome of the projects with which they have been involved.
One of the most significant projects was a new Maternity and Oncology development on the main acute hospital site. The juxta-position of these two services was dictated by the programming for the whole site development but taking the two services forward at the same time required a great deal of innovative thinking.

The project was completed on time and to budget and with a high level of user satisfaction for both maternity and oncology services. This was in no small part due to the input of SHP and to the high level of knowledge; experience; professionalism; innovation; and stakeholder involvement that they brought to bear on the project.

In 2010 SHP took part in a series of workshops with other nationally recognised healthcare planning organisations convened by the Department of Health to review the appropriateness of current Health Building Notes.
The outcome was the identification of those HBNs that required updatingSHP assisted in the redrafting of HBN 09-03 Neonatal Units

Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust specialises in the health of women and their babies - both within the hospital and out in the community. And, is one of only two such specialist trusts in the UK - and the largest women’s hospital of its kind in Europe. The maternity team cares for women and their babies from conception to birth supported by a neonatal team which provides around the clock care for premature and new born babies needing specialist care.
SHP were commissioned to undertake a series of business cases with regards to service development focussing specifically on critical care and delivery suite.
These commissions sprang from an initial requirement to undertake an estates strategy which reviewed both service and estate in order to respond to increased demands from the community.

Prior to joining Strategic Healthcare Planning in 1996 as one of the founding partners Chris Wood was employed by Shrewsbury based architectural practice AEDAS.
Whilst there he was responsible for the design and delivery on site of a 5000 sq.m. maternity unit based on the Nucleus principle.
Subsequently SHP led the Technical Advisory Team that delivered a new PFI project that modified and linked in to the maternity unit to form an integrated service with the main hospital.

North Staffs HospitalNorth Staffordshire
26 cot, Level 3, Neonatal Unit
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is based within the Maternity Department and offers care for up to 23 babies and their families. The unit has 6 intensive care cots, 4 high dependency cots and 13 special care cots. There is also a special isolation room.
Babies are admitted for a variety of reasons. Some are born early in pregnancy from 24 weeks gestation, weighing in at just 500 grams, others may be babies who are born at term but are unwell and need the specialised medical or nursing care. Babies are generally admitted from the labour ward or from the midwifery wards and occasionally from other neonatal units.
The unit is a level 3 intensive care unit which provides the highest level of intensive care for the vulnerable neonate from the local area and across the West Midlands network. The unit is nationally recognised as a centre of excellence.
