The CDH facility represents a pivotal advancement for Woking Community Hospital and North West Surrey, offering enhanced diagnostic testing capacity including x-rays, ultrasounds, cardiac, and respiratory testing. This expansion aims to alleviate patient waiting times, ensuring timely access to crucial healthcare services.
Utilising advanced offsite construction methods, Merit is set to deliver this state-of-the-art facility in just nine months. Merit’s innovative approach allows simultaneous offsite and onsite work, enhancing project affordability and accessibility.

The V6 platform boasts BREEAM Excellent and EPC-A ratings, with energy consumption 69% lower than current CIBSE hospital benchmarks.
