The design of the theatres has taken into account new technology and surgical techniques and each theatre can be used by a range of different surgical specialities including laparoscopic (keyhole) and laser surgery.
The design team also considered the working environment for staff and have been able to provide natural light (windows) in all three theatres. An IT hub will allow access to emails, patient records and on-line training during breaks and intervals.
The three new theatres will bring the total number of theatres at Salford Royal to 19.
