Dermot Murnaghan offically opens the Whittington Day Treatment Centre
On Wednesday 11 June the Day Treatment Centre was officially opened. Journalist and television presenter Dermot Murnaghan unveiled the plaque at the evening reception and said of the occasion: “I am delighted to officially open the Whittington Hospital’s new Day Treatment Centre. It is a major asset to the hospital and huge benefit to the communities the hospital serves.”
The Day Treatment Centre is the largest purpose-built day healthcare facility in North London. It contains four state of the art operating theatres, three endoscopy treatment rooms, a minor procedure room and an interventional imaging room. Patients will derive maximum benefit from the facility, which has an increased range of available procedures within all of the main specialities. The facility is bright and spacious and has been installed with all the latest infection control technology right down to the easy to clean computer keyboards and MRSA-proof curtains.
Chairman of the Whittington Hospital, Joe Liddane said, : “Patients who have already used the new Day Treatment Centre have already said that they would recommend the service to their family and friends. This is indicative of the general feedback we have received from both patients and staff alike during the first few months of operation. This is a really wonderful resource for local people in Islington and Haringey and is our next step in our continuing programme of improving the buildings, processes and patient experience here at the Whittington.”
