New endoscopy unit for QEH
The green light has been given to the plans
King's Lynn's hospital is to get a new Endoscopy Unit.
Plans for the £12.5million pounds suite at the Queen Elizabeth have been given the go ahead by the Borough Council.
Dr Shailesh Karanth, Gastroenterologist Consultant at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust said:
“This is an exciting development for our team. The new unit will modernise our facilities for patients, their families and staff and will enable all endoscopies to take place in one unit.”
Caroline Shaw CBE, Chief Executive of The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust said:
“This is good news for our patients and staff – and is one of a number of important projects underway to modernise our hospital. Alongside this, we’re continuing to progress our work to bring a new hospital for King’s Lynn and West Norfolk.”
The Trust running the QEH hope it'll open in Spring next year.
