Healthcare
Hospitals, clinics and many other health buildings occupy a unique place in our sensibilities. They are places where we are likely to go when at our most vulnerable, and so need to be as reassuring and comforting as possible to the spirits of the individual patient, their families and loved ones. They will also be brimming with modern equipment and highly-trained experts who need the most efficient environments possible to help them work. Here, any compromises in building performance can, quite literally, become a matter of life or death.
The pressure to produce healthcare buildings fit for their ever-changing purpose is increasing all of the time, particularly when public opinion is roused by newspaper headlines and editorial such as those that have accompanied the recent increase of MRSA in UK hospitals.
Allgood have launched a Healthcare initiative to target the areas of ironmongery specification that are increasingly under the spotlight, providing solutions to create effectively designed hospitals. Here we outline how Allgood can address the following issues:
- Healthcare Acquired Infections
- Life cycle value
- Access for all and the DDA
- Security and fire integrity
- Anti-ligature
- Build logistics and service
