Reds10鈥檚 hospital room is designed to help drive the industrialisation of Hospital 2.0, the government鈥檚 multi-billion-pound new hospital programme (NHP).

The full-scale prototype, complete with bedroom, ensuite and adjoining corridor, was commissioned by the NHP to mitigate risks in new hospital projects ahead of the first wave multi-billion roll out of the NHP, delivered through 鈥榤odern鈥� methods of construction.

According to Reds10, its prototype allows the NHP to validate and verify the spatial requirements for the in-patient room and bathroom pod, along with the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) interfaces and adjacent corridor space.

Developed at Reds10's 300,000 sq ft factory in Driffield, East Yorkshire, the prototype is under review by ministers, the NHP, NHS, and other stakeholders, including public and patient voice forums. If approved, the prototype will serve as the standardised in-patient bedroom across the entire NHP, providing the NHS with an MMC modular solution that accelerates the delivery of the next generation of hospitals.

The NHP is adopting a standardised and programmatic approach to construction, known as Hospital 2.0. This approach will reduce the overall construction time for hospitals and result in facilities that maximise modern technologies and are adaptable, sustainable and clinically tested. The standardised approach also allows for iterative learning as projects are completed, creating a repository of knowledge for future initiatives.

Reds10 founder and chairman Paul Ruddick said: 鈥淎t Reds10, we firmly believe in the potential of industrialisation to revolutionise the construction industry. The New Hospital Programme鈥檚 commitment to integrating modern methods of construction into a standardised and programmatic approach will transform the delivery of this critical infrastructure, improving productivity, quality, and sustainability while delivering better value. We are excited to contribute by producing a modular solution for in-patient bedrooms that can expedite the delivery of the next generation of hospitals.鈥�
