Establishment

Introduction

NCN, a centre for health

In 2003 the three clinics, Saint-Henri, Saint-Damien and Saint-Paul, together with the Catherine de Sienne Medical Imaging and Cancer Centre amalgamated and moved to the site on the confluence of the Loire and Sevre rivers at 4 rue Éric Tabarly in Nantes.

This new establishment has 346 beds:
57 beds for day surgery and anaesthesia.
289 beds for full hospitalisation allocated as follows:
- 166 surgery beds including 8 surgical intensive care beds and 24 high dependency beds.
- 85 medical beds including 8 cardiology intensive care beds and 16 cardiology high dependency beds.
- 8 emergency "short duration" beds
- 30 post-emergency medical and surgical beds.

At the end of October 2004, the Accident & Emergency Department opened. It operates 24 hours a day working in collaboration with the Accident and Emergency network in the Nantes conurbation.

The NCN also has 90 specialist consulting posts.

Projects for extension

Furthermore, in January 2008 the Nouvelles Cliniques Nantaises opened an extension which houses 160 additional beds consisting of a multi-disciplinary Department of Medicine with a capacity of 70 beds, and an ancillary of the Centre for Physical Medicine and Convalescence at Saint-Jean-de-Monts run by the French Red Cross with an 80-bed capacity.

In 2008, the Nouvelles Cliniques Nantaises is starting work to provide a 550-space underground car park and a new 17,000m² extension to accommodate the ECHO Association specialising in haemodialysis, an Institute for the Training of Nurses and Nursing Auxiliaries, a Conference Centre and Centre for multi-disciplinary consultations including, in particular, a Medical Analysis Laboratory. These facilities will open at the beginning of 2010.
