The Planned Care Centre (PCC) is a new stand-alone care facility that forms part of the North West Quadrant site at Derriford Hospital. The scope and speciality of clinical care to be delivered within the PCC is likely to be orthopedic, but the design and clinical content of spaces means the new building will not be limited to a single speciality. The new building will combine diagnostic, operating theatres, consulting and inpatient spaces into one building meaning it can function in its own right while remaining part of the main hospital care setting. The new building is set to offer a radical change in community healthcare provision for the area. It will be a one-stop shop for important outpatient services. Integrated provision is at the heart of the notion of patient focused care, not only centralizing expertise and accessibility for patients, but also providing an organizational base and the ability to share knowledge and best practice for staff.  The building plays a key role in defining a new generous south facing public plaza, shown above, at the centre of the North West Quadrant Site.
