Healthcare
We help keep your healthcare facility moving around the clock
Our support services help you provide the best standards of patient care, creating positive experiences at often difficult times.
Hospitals, care homes and other healthcare facilities are busy, often stressful places – and staff and patients need reliable, consistent support services that keep everything moving in the background.
Because in the background, there are a myriad of interconnected tasks, both large and small, that simply just need to happen, every single day.
Our specialist teams are experts at working in healthcare, and we’re ready to support your people to deliver the very best patient experience.
Here's how...
By ensuring your facilities are clean and hygienic
Any healthcare facility has to be spotlessly clean and hygienic. We help prevent the spread of infection through rigorous, frequent cleaning in hospitals and care homes. We use the latest compliant products and methods, meeting national cleaning standards. Our experienced teams are specially trained to work in busy hospital environments, ensuring zero disruption. As an agile partner, we work with you to help operations run smoothly and minimise patient backlogs. In some hospitals, we use autonomous cleaning robots to provide round-the-clock cleaning for a constantly hygienic environment, with our people focusing on the areas the robots can’t reach, and responding quickly to other urgent needs.
By keeping staff and patients fuelled
The best food is incredibly important in healthcare. From aiding patients' recovery with healthy, nutritious food to fuelling your staff through their shifts, and keeping visitors sustained, our catering services for hospitals and care homes are designed to support the well-being of both staff and patients and cater for the full range of dietary requirements.
By keeping vulnerable people safe
We have a range of security options to keep your patients, visitors and staff safe, and restrict access to secure locations with access monitoring, while our security guards for hospitals act as a reassuring presence on the ground.
By getting the right people to the right place at the right time
We use real-time resource allocation to quickly deploy cleaners to rooms that have been vacated, and get porters to patients who need to be moved, reducing patient backlogs and waiting times.
By serving your communities, sustainably
We help your healthcare facility operate more sustainably – looking after the environment and investing in your local communities, partnering with local suppliers, as well as providing career opportunities for local people. Our carbon reduction projects include proactive ways to minimise waste and water usage, we help you switch to renewable resources for generating energy, and we make your buildings more energy efficient too.
Case study
Using robotics to increase corridor cleaning productivity at an NHS hospital in the UK
Our innovative approach to increasing corridor cleaning productivity at Ipswich Hospital in the UK generated significant results.
By using the autonomous Co-Botic cleaning machine, Ipswich Hospital has been able to reassign cleaning teams to clinical areas, while creating a cleaner and safer environment.
We helped the hospital achieve:
- A higher standard of cleaning and increased cleaning coverage
- Reduced health and safety risks from wet floors due to our quick drying solution
- Labour cost savings as the most productive time to clean corridors thoroughly is at night
