A hospital packed with green technology could become the most environmentally friendly in Britain, according to the primary care trust building it.
The Malvern Community Hospital, due to open this autumn, is part of plans by the NHS to cut its carbon footprint - which is currently 3% of the UK's total emissions. Built at Seaford Court, Malvern Link, the hospital will include in-patient and out-patient facilities, x-ray and ultrasound, day rehabilitation and therapies, palliative care and visiting mammography and MRI scans. Its 24-bed £17.7M hospital will use renewable geothermal energy for heating, cooling and hot water. For more information visit the edie website
