EDGE, a leading multi-disciplinary property and construction consultancy, has completed its scope of work on a pioneering new stroke rehabilitation facility, which opened this week at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (DBTH).

The Phoenix Therapy Suite, located at Montagu Hospital within the Fred and Ann Green Rehabilitation Centre, provides patients with access to cutting-edge therapies previously unavailable on the NHS. These innovations are designed to help stroke survivors regain independence and accelerate their recovery.

This milestone marks the conclusion of EDGE’s cost-management role on the project, ensuring the facility was delivered efficiently, on budget and with maximum value for the Trust and its patients.

Brad Fella, Senior Cost Manager at EDGE, said:

‘We’re incredibly proud to have supported DBTH in delivering such a transformative facility here in South Yorkshire. The Phoenix Therapy Suite is a powerful example of what can be achieved when innovation, care and strategy come together – supported by a brilliant collaborative approach from all project partners. At EDGE, we are committed to improving outcomes for places and people, and this project truly reflects that mission.’

The suite features advanced robotic and interactive equipment that supports walking, arm and hand movement, and cognitive function. Previously only available privately, this technology enables patients to take part in personalised rehabilitation while working closely with specialist therapists.

Professor Deb Lowe, Medical Director of the Stroke Association and Co-chair of the Stroke GIRFT programme, added:

‘The UK currently has 1.2 million stroke survivors, with numbers expected to almost double in the next decade. Facilities like the Phoenix Therapy Suite are game-changers – giving patients the chance not just to survive stroke, but to thrive and recover more fully.’

The new service has been made possible thanks to the generosity of the late Fred and Ann Green, with the remainder of their legacy funds, alongside support from DBTH Charity, enabling the purchase of the equipment.

Zara Jones, Deputy Chief Executive at DBTH, commented:

‘The Phoenix Therapy Suite is a perfect example of our new Trust strategy, Healthier Together, delivering exceptional care for all. It shows how technology can support recovery while empowering people to take control of their health and their future.’
