Polar has been appointed by IHP (Integrated Health Projects), an established joint venture between VINCI Construction UK and Sir Robert McAlpine, to complete the design & installation of our Humber Two Healthcare Window, Wear Secure Healthcare Window, Trent Fixed Healthcare Window, Medway Seclusion Healthcare Window, Hamble Secure Healthcare Door, Top Hung Windows & Curtain Walling.

The new low secure site, called Aspen Wood, will offer world class care in a new therapeutic environment delivering an entirely new model of secure learning disability care. This leads the way for a state of the art hospital building that will provide short to medium term care for patients across the region.

This new site will be co-located with a range of secure mental health services already on the site. It will form Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trusts new centre of excellence – Maghull Health Park, which is becoming a major centre of attention for the highest standards of care. It is the trusts intention for it to be the centre of excellence for learning disability and mental health care. 

The new hospital will cater for up to 40 men and women with a diagnosis of learning disability, autism and comorbid conditions, needing care and treatment in conditions of a low secure setting. Each patient will have their own bedroom with en-suite bathroom, plus a range of activity areas and therapeutic spaces.
