[16] In late 2019 Vanguard launched its latest mobile central sterile services department (CSSD), stating that it is ‘one of the first of its kind’ providing a high specification, temporary facility for intense cleaning and sterilisation of items used in procedures by hospital surgeons and clinical staff.

[19] Following a pilot project with Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust in 2019, the company built a bespoke mobile theatre to support the ophthalmology team with a backlog of cataract surgeries over the course of two years.

In 2023, Vanguard provided a mobile laminar flow theatre to Wharfedale Hospital in Otley, forming part of an elective care hub.

The hub treats patients across a number of specialties including urology, plastic surgery, maxillofacial, colorectal, breast and vascular surgical procedures.

[20] The company provided what it called a 'bespoke modular solution' for interventional radiology procedures to Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust during a refurbishment period.

The completed module included a bed bay, plant room and standard theatre with HVAC system providing 27 fresh air changes per hour.

[21] Royal Preston hospital received a second mobile theatre from Vanguard Healthcare to increase surgical capacity after a significant backlog in elective surgery.

[22] Alongside a mobile laminar flow theatre provided to Wharfedale Hospital in Otley, Vanguard also built two bespoke modular buildings, which created extra storage and staff welfare facilities.
