New 02 tanks for Colchester Hospital

It's part of a £1million upgrade

Work to install the massive tanks are underway
Published 22nd Apr 2021

Larger tanks are being installed at Colchester Hospital, to allow more liquid oxygen to be stored there.

This can then be converted into gas, which can be made available to patients.

It will also increase the availability of high-flow oxygen therapy for patients, including those with coronavirus.

It's part of an upgrade costing more than £1million, with the same work also being carried out at Ipswich Hospital, according to the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust.
