Situated in Shepton Mallet, Somerset it operates as the Shepton Mallet NHS Treatment Centre. The Mendip ISTC was one of 23 such contracts to be awarded by the Department of Health. Designed to bring new working practices into the NHS and cut waiting lists, the centre has capacity to carry out 11,000 clinical procedures every year and expects to treat patients within 14 weeks of their referral to the centre.
The centre can accommodate 34 beds and has 4 operating theatres, an endoscopy suite, a day surgery facility, plus medical imaging and physiotherapy departments.
The contract was awarded to a consortium led by OR International and included the New-York- Presbyterian Hospital and W.S. Atkins Plc.
