RKW supported the Trust in the production of their Strategic Outline Case  (SOC) for an investment proposal of £700m. This SOC will form part of the All Wales investment framework currently being undertaken through Welsh Health Estates and identifies future clinical strategy and the key components that will comprise the case for investment.

RKW have worked with this world renowned children's Trust for many years, initially in developing their strategic service and estates vision as part of the GOS2000 project. RKW undertook the service and financial modelling for the SOC in 2000 which envisaged a capital investment in excess of £300m.

RKW are currently working on two major hospital schemes in Bologna. Our role is two-fold; we are developing future capacity requirements based on reconfiguration of whole health systems; and developing a clinical brief for each site to underpin Development Control Plan preparation, working closely with the Italian architects Studio Zingaretti.

RKW are working with the Acute Trust and the 5 Local Health Boards in and around Newport, South Wales on a SOC for major reconfiguration of Primary and Acute services which, it is envisaged, will see a capital investment in excess of £750m.

RKW were commissioned by the Welsh Assembly Government to undertake the Pathology Modernisation Study. This was a review of the existing pathology services across South Wales in order to ensure that any future developments would meet future service user requirements as identified in 'Designed for Life' and the 'Diagnostic Services Strategy'.

As partof the post project review of its new PFI facility, RKW undertook an analysis of current performance and activity with projections to meet patients charter and waiting list requirements, demographic growth and seasonal fluctuations.

This AED simulation model was developed to provide an interative animated insight into the AED environment and thus act as a support tool to improve healthcare processes. This work was undertaken in conjunction with RKW and the Health and Social Care Modelling Group (HSCMG) at the University of Westminster under a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) initiative.

RKW are currently supporting the Trust in preparation for its short, medium and long-term planning process as part of the Trust's PHSI project. Specific workstreams include service and activity planning including developing the Trust's model of care within the locality.

RKW developed a tool to assess the capacity and financial implications in managing the delivery of waiting time targets on an HRG basis across all Welsh NHS Trusts. This toolkit enables activity to be modelled and monitored at HRG level by the Trust and can accommodate changes in future activity projection as well as changes in interim waiting time targets and performance.

RKW's role is to support the Trust's internal Project Team in preparing the clinical planning material that will form a significant component of the design brief for the Procure 21 partner team for the reconfiguration and future development of Women and Children's services in Hertfordshire.

RKW completed this framework brief in October 2007, which builds upon the decision to secondary services based in Dublin along with national tertiary services in a new children's hospital - potentially co-located with a maternity hospital. As part of our work we engaged clinical advisers from Canada, the USA and the UK and contacted more than 20 children's hospitals internationally.
