Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) has been contracted to deliver specialist electrical services at Oriel, a new world-leading centre for advancing eye health, located in the King’s Cross area of London.
A radical approach to sight-related medicine, Oriel aims to drive innovation, promote inter-disciplinary collaboration to speed up the translation of research into treatment to improve people’s sight. It is a joint partnership between Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology (IoO) and Moorfields Eye Charity.
The two-acre site earmarked for Oriel was owned by Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I)(open a new tab). Moorfields acquired the site on 1 February 2023 through an NHS-to-NHS transaction approved by the Secretary of State for Health.
The new centre – part of the New Hospital Programme, the biggest hospital building programme in a generation – will harness the expertise of the partners under one roof and will enable closer collaborative working between clinicians and researchers to speed up the delivery of the highest quality treatments and therapies for patients.
In this contract, engineers from PTSG Electrical Services Ltd will install a brand-new lightning protection system which will protect the new facility and its users in the event of an electrical storm.
