McBains supports delivery of major new endoscopy facility at Bradford Royal Infirmary

A major new endoscopy facility at Bradford Royal Infirmary opened to the public last month (March 2026), marking a significant milestone in the expansion of modern diagnostic and therapeutic services in the region.

The purpose‑built unit features eight procedure rooms and private pods each with its own en-suite bathroom, designed to enhance privacy, dignity and comfort before and after procedures.

Working collaboratively with the wider project team, McBains provided NEC Supervisor services throughout the construction phase, supporting contract compliance, quality assurance and effective communication between stakeholders. The role was central to ensuring the project progressed in line with agreed outcomes while maintaining focus on patient needs and long-term value.

The two-storey unit is physically linked to the main hospital building, enabling seamless access for inpatients, while also providing a separate entrance for outpatients. The building also incorporates flexibility to support growing demand for endoscopy services over time.

Sustainability has been embedded within the project, with energy-efficient lighting, photovoltaic panels and intelligent building management systems contributing to lower operational carbon emissions. Landscaping and green spaces have been introduced to support biodiversity, and the vast majority of construction waste was diverted from landfill.

The unit’s interior design creates a bright and welcoming environment that reflects the local community while supporting patient wellbeing.

Rob Kirton, Senior Clerk of Works at McBains, said: “We’re thrilled to see the completion of this state-of-the-art facility that will make a real difference to patients and staff for many years to come. The new facility has been designed with patient dignity, operational efficiency and future demand in mind, and we’re proud to have played a role in supporting its successful delivery for Bradford Royal Infirmary.”
