Britplas supplied Safevent windows, curtain walling and doors for the £8 million inpatient unit in Poole providing specialist accommodation to meet growing demand for this service.

A new facility built on the original grounds of St Anns Hospital, Kimmeridge Court was designed to preserve the quality of its natural setting and create a uniquely private and therapeutic environment for treatment of patients with eating disorders.

Eating disorders are responsible for more loss of life than any other mental health condition and are becoming increasingly common in the UK and worldwide. In England, hospital admissions for eating disorders reached over 24,000 in 2020-2021, a five-year increase of 84%.
Whilst nationally there is a shortfall in available beds for eating disorders, the completion of Kimmeridge Court will increase the Trust’s capacity for specialist care from 6 to 10 beds, to meet demand in the local area ensuring patients can receive treatment closer to home and their support network; a factor that aids their recovery.
