Friarage Surgical Centre

The Friarage Surgical Centre is part of a £35.5 million NHS initiative, replacing ageing facilities with a purpose-built, state-of-the-art centre designed to double the hospital’s surgical capacity - from 5,000 to nearly 10,000 operations annually.   

The centre features six main operating theatres, two minor theatres, and a dedicated surgical admissions and day hub, all aimed at delivering world-class care closer to home for local patients. 

SDS Dfendoor, Shieldoor and Lamdoor were supplied due to their durable nature. These post-formed doors are built to withstand years of intensive use in a demanding clinical environment, while high-quality finishes enhance the overall look and feel of the new centre. 

The Friarage Surgical Centre project demonstrates SDS’s capability to deliver robust, attractive, and clinically sound door solutions for complex healthcare environments. Through early collaboration, technical expertise, and a focus on both durability and design, SDS played a key role in realising a facility that will serve the North Yorkshire community for decades to come.
