About the event
Groundwork is now officially underway on the new £12.8 million Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at Leicester Royal Infirmary. The site has been set up, hoardings are in place, and excavation has begun to prepare the foundation area for the new facility.
The new UTC was announced is expected to open in 2027. It will replace the existing Minor Injuries and Minor Illnesses (MIaMI) unit and will provide a modern, purpose-built environment designed around the needs of patients requiring same-day treatment for urgent but non-life-threatening conditions.
Activities
During their visit, students will arrive on site, sign in, and be welcomed by the site team. The experience begins with a guided site tour, where students will gain a real insight into the day-to-day operations of a live construction environment. The team will provide an overview of health and safety practices, explain why these are essential, and outline the various roles and responsibilities within the site. Throughout the tour, there will be opportunities for students to ask questions and engage with the team, helping them deepen their understanding. This interactive experience is designed to showcase the wide range of careers available in construction, from planning and management to skilled trades. By the end of the visit, students will leave with a clearer understanding of what it’s really like to work in construction and the exciting opportunities it offers.
