The £16m facility at Northampton General Hospital was designed with the Covid pandemic in mind.
A critical care unit, shaped by the Covid pandemic experience, has treated 900 patients in its first year.
The 16-bed unit at Northampton General Hospital, which opened last summer and cost £15.9m, offers round-the-clock care for the most vulnerable patients. It includes special isolation rooms as well as space for relatives to stay so they can sleep close to loved ones."It's very peaceful, we've paid a lot of attention to soundproofing within the rooms. Even things like bins with soft-closing lids" Dr Wilkinson told BBC Radio Northampton.
The unit's five isolation rooms have a two-way ventilation system which aims to prevent a patient with an infectious disease potentially passing it on to staff, visitors or another patient - particularly if they may have a weakened immune system.There are five isolation rooms at the unit, which could help stop the future spread of infectious diseases
