Achievements this period

  • Eddy O'Hare (LST) and Simon Kidd (Easter Bush IT) are working to organise the AV installations and necessary Estates work for the Vet School teaching room upgrades.
  • All remaining AV equipment in the Western General Medical Education Centre has been removed in preparation for the main contractor to take over the site.
  • Main building contractor for the Western General Medical Education Centre has been appointed and is due to start work on Monday 10th June.
  • AV contractors for Western General Hospital Medical Education Centre have been appointed and a meeting with the main building contractor has been scheduled for Friday 14th June.

Issues

  • The start date of 10th June for the Western General Hospital Medical Education Centre is several weeks later than planned.  Tender responses were for a 15 week programme, however contractor has agreed to target a 12 week programme which would mean completion may be on Friday 30th August.  This means at least 1 week of teaching needs to be accommodated elsewhere in the Western General.
  • Additional challenges have been found in the Western General Hospital Medical Education Centre, which need to be fully addressed as part of the project.  This is expected to take 6 weeks and is due to start on 17th June.
  • Still waiting for engie costs to be returned for 5 rooms in the Chancellor's Building and for dates of when work will be carried out in the other 2.  This has been escalated up through engie channels and meetings are supposed to take place during first week of June.

Next Steps

  • Arrange suitable dates for upgrades of Chancellor's Building rooms with engie and appointed AV contractor.
  • Meet with AV contractors and main building contractor for the Western General Medical Education Centre refurbishment project and ensure everyone is aware of requirements and time frames for work to be carried out.

RAG Commentary
Remaining at RED due to the revised timeline for the Western General Medical Education Centre refurbishment project, now that the main building contractor has been appointed and further critical issues have been found, which must be addressed. At least 1 week of teaching is going to be affected, so alternative locations within the hospital now need to be found. Due to the NHS teaching staff locations, it's not possible to move these teaching sessions to another site.
