Adult social care and waste management partnership

KIER Selected For £60M Mental Health Hospital

The choice is yours
The adult social care provider, National Care Group (NCG), has announced a partnership with one of the UK’s leading resource management consultancies, Click Waste, part of the Novati group, to improve recycling and waste management as set out in their new sustainability strategy.
Kier has been appointed by the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust to deliver a new £60m 54-bed acute inpatient mental health hospital in Bexhill, as part of its Re-designing Inpatient Services in East Sussex (RIS:ES) Programme. This is the first step in the RIS:ES Programme which is aimed at providing all mental health inpatient services across East Sussex on a single site.
Informed Choices, the testing standard developed by Design in Mental Health Network in partnership with Building Research Establishment (BRE), has been eight years in the making, and involved more than 250 consultations with Network members and technical contributors. Since its launch at the Design in Mental Health conference in 2023, the new standard has had a flurry of interest from NHS Trusts, NHS England, and manufacturers and specifiers alike.
