Celebrating over 40 years of outstanding modular buildings
Creating a comfortable discharge space is an essential part of any hospital space. This is a space in which patients could be forced to wait for many hours, particularly in the busier times of the year. An important part of any modular discharge lounge is that it is accessible from many areas of the hospital – however, as this area can often become crowded, it is also important that access is designed in such a way that it does not contribute towards hospital congestion.
Here at Cotaplan, we are proud to deliver bespoke pre-fabricated construction services for both NHS hospitals and private healthcare facilities. We work closely with all our clients to provide unique modular construction to suit their needs. Whether you’re looking to create a practical and comfortable hospital extension or a stand-alone modular discharge lounge, our team are here for you.

More and more medical spaces in the UK are choosing to take advantage of pre-fabricated design solutions. It isn’t difficult to see why, as these modular building projects offer a wide range of advantages when compared to traditional brick-and-mortar construction. Just some of the incredible benefits that this style of construction can provide are:
A comfortable discharge space is a necessity for NHS hospitals. It is common for patients to spend several hours in these areas waiting for their discharge papers to be prepared, prescriptions to be written up and transportation to be arranged. Thanks to modular construction services, you’ll be able to create the perfect space for your patients’ comfort as well as your staff’s convenience.
You will have the opportunity to include everything you need to make the pre-fabricated discharge lounge function as an independent space on your hospital grounds. Just some of the great features that you can include in your space’s design are:
It is not uncommon to separate male and female patients in the discharge lounge, just like you would on the wards. Thanks to the benefits provided by modular design, you aren’t limited in the overall layout of your discharge space. You can have two separate lounges, or one lounge with two entrances for example.
If your discharge lounge is going to operate independently, or even just provide a comfortable service to your patients, then you need to offer a range of amenities. For both staff and patients, on-site bathrooms are essential to prevent them from re-entering the main hospital building. Similarly, on-premises kitchens can help to reduce hospital congestion and provide snacks, drinks or small meals to patients waiting to be discharged.
It is essential that your modular discharge lounge has access to a dedicated reception area. This will allow the discharge nurses to more efficiently work through their paperwork. This can really speed up the discharge process for many patients.
By creating a truly personalised modular discharge lounge, you will be able to improve patient flow throughout the hospital. This can help to reduce congestion, free-up beds for incoming patients and allow medically-well patients to get home much faster.
Hospitals are often stuck with a pre-determined layout. However, thanks to the versatile nature of modular hospital buildings, you can design your own layout to meet your needs! Our team work with both NHS hospitals and private healthcare providers on a regular basis. As such, we can quickly and effectively supply the perfect construction for your needs.
Our prefabricated hospital buildings can be used to create a variety of medical areas, including:

We understand how important it is to keep disruption to a minimum in any setting — particularly in healthcare environments where patient care must continue uninterrupted. Because our modular healthcare buildings are constructed off-site at our facility, on-site installation time is significantly reduced, making the process faster, safer and far less disruptive than traditional bricks-and-mortar construction.
Another key advantage of prefabricated construction is flexibility. Our modular buildings are fully relocatable, so if your service needs change or departments need to be reconfigured, the building can be moved or adapted to suit your evolving requirements.
Our modular healthcare facilities are available in a wide range of finishes and specifications. By working closely with your team, we can design and deliver a bespoke solution tailored to your clinical and operational needs — right down to the flooring and internal layout. We can incorporate consultation rooms, treatment rooms, waiting areas, reception spaces, staff rooms, storage areas, toilets, washrooms, changing facilities, and kitchenettes as part of your modular solution.
To ensure accessibility for all patients and staff, we can provide full wheelchair access and integrate specialist equipment or features to support those with additional needs.

No healthcare facility, either privately-owned or run by the NHS, can survive without the ability to offer general surgery. This covers a wide range of surgical issues including skin conditions, more common organ transplants and elective surgery.
