A warm welcome to Emma, who has joined our K2 team today and will be based in the Gatwick office.
Commenting on her new role, Emma said:
"I am very excited to be joining the K2 team as an Assistant Project Manager/Bid Manager. Kicking off on projects with Jardine Motors Group and our clients in Surrey and Sussex Healthcare will give me a great start with the company I’m sure.
Having just completed a BSc (Hons) in Project Management for Construction, this is a second career for me, following over 10 years as a Marketing Manager in the Events industry. Having spent one year working on site for Morgan Sindall on placement whilst studying, I have already gained some fantastic construction experience and I cannot wait to get going on the client side of the business.
Originally from London, I moved to Hove 7 years ago. I’m a keen swimmer, travelling and seeing new places is one of my favourite things to do and I have a 5 year old daughter called Pearl who is endless fun."
On Friday 1 July, the operating theatre was officially opened by RT Hon Anne Milton, Conservative MP of Guildford. A key fact mentioned during the presentation was that since the handover in April, 320 operations have taken place in the new theatre.
K2 provided Project Management to manage project design and delivery from concept through to operational readiness. The new theatre was handed over to the users a day ahead of schedule and well within the approved business case sum of £4.635m. The team coordinated and worked, collaboratively with multiple stakeholders and to NHS standard processes and procedures to ensure project compliance.
The scheme includes the addition of a Lamina Flow theatre, anaesthetic room, scrub space, dirty utility and prep room and an increase to the recovery area to provide 16 new bed spaces. There is also additional storage space and a refurbished male changing room.
John Setra, Managing Director K2 Consultancy said:
“We are proud to have completed this operating theatre within budget and before the scheduled delivery handover date. Our team worked to a strict timeframe, enabling us to complete the works within the shortest period of time for a facility of this stature.”
Bally Kalsi, K2 Project Manager commented:
“The project is a result of our desire to properly understand our client's needs and implement to ensure that their delivery requirements were met. We worked collaboratively with multiple stakeholders to deliver a complex project within a live hospital environment.”
The Project Team worked with the Trust throughout the design and construction period. Every effort was made to minimise disruption to the day-to-day operations of the hospital and there were excellent management and collaboration during the construction process. We felt the project was managed extremely professionally, communication was excellent and the end product built to a high standard. This new theatre will help RSCH to deliver better care to some of most needy patients.”
