Built on the edge of an acute hospital site but orientated to maximise views of neighbouring Ancient Woodland, the new Lane Fox REMEO Unit provides a therapeutic retreat, with a homely atmosphere, supported by cutting-edge technology and world-leading clinical expertise. The unit is a high-tech 20-bed satellite centre to the world-renowned Lane Fox Unit at St Thomas£ Hospital, London - national centre for management of chronic respiratory failure. It is the UK£s first purpose-built centre to wean respiratory patients from invasive mechanical ventilation, thereby improving recovery rates and enabling patients to £return home£ (translation of the Latin £remeo£). The building was developed as part of a landmark public-private partnership between Guys and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust and BOC Limited.
