Product Feature: Sloping-Top Cabinet System
Sloping tops to cabinets are an essential design feature in healthcare environments as they contribute to infection control. Wall cabinet tops are an often overlooked area for managing hygiene and cleaning, but can be a big risk to harbouring bacteria. Standard wall cabinets should not be used in clinical setting unless they have a sloping top.
Supporting Staff Through Smarter Clinical Office Design
Clinical office spaces aren’t typical workspaces, they need support an energetic, fast-paced environment. Staff may rotate through shared workstations, switch between administrative and patient-facing roles, or work within confined or irregularly shaped spaces.
Barrd: Taking Control of Medication Access
In the fast-paced, high-stakes environment of hospitals, ensuring medicines are stored securely and accessed efficiently is not just a matter of convenience – tis a matter of patient safety and regulatory compliance.
The Power of Repeatable Design in Clinical Spaces
In the fast-paced world of healthcare, consistency can make a big difference—especially when it comes to the spaces clinical staff rely on every day. Repeatable rooms is a great way to use design to bring efficiencies to clinical areas across different departments or wards.
What Makes an IPS Unit Effective for Infection Prevention?
In clinical spaces, maintaining the greatest levels of hygiene is crucial. One area that plays a key role in infection prevention is the design and installation of Integrated Plumbing Systems (IPS) for hand wash stations.
Bringing Diagnostics Closer to Home
Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) are fast becoming one of the most important developments in supporting patient care closer to home. These centres play a vital role in lowering pressure on acute hospitals, improving access to diagnostics, and enabling earlier intervention through faster, more accessible testing.
Navigating Budget Pressures: Why Getting It Right First Time Matters
Ensuring the safe and secure storage of medicines in clinical settings is essential to reduce waste, prevent medication errors, and safeguard patients and staff.
Tackling Space Pressures in Hospitals
Hospital are some of the busiest and most essential places in our communities – but behind scenes, they’re often under more pressure than we realise. One challenge that’s quietly growing in hospitals is pressure for space; normally a fixed and limited resource that is needing to somehow expand to provide more capacity for the storage of a greater quantity of medications for increasing patient treatment numbers.
Inside the Theatre: Designing for Better Outcomes
An operating theatre is a vital component of the healthcare environment, requiring careful planning and design to support surgical procedures effectively. Unlike other clinical spaces, theatres must be meticulously designed to ensure smooth workflows, easy accessibility, and strict infection control.
The Future of Access to Medicines
The storage and access to medicines and drugs needs to be strictly controlled. There are multiple risks from having access to medicines including theft.
