Minster Cleaning Services Meets Healthcare Demands
The cleanliness of healthcare premises is an issue never far from the headlines. With primary healthcare providers having to be registered with the Care Quality Commission by April this year, medical practices, in their preparation to meet the ‘Essential Standards of Quality and Safety’, are reviewing their cleaning arrangements and some are fi nding that there is a level of detail lacking in areas such as cleaning plans and ongoing cleaning audit / monitoring processes.
Minster Cleaning Services has been providing cleaning services to the healthcare sector for 30 years, as Marketing Manager, Paul Stairmand explains: “Cleaning surgeries requires specialist knowledge and a detailed scheme of work; failing on either count could lead to serious consequences. By delivering a cleaning strategy that covers all key elements and functional areas of their practice, we help providers to combat healthcare acquired infections whilst fully complying with CQC requirements.”
Paul says that Minster is committed to achieving high standards of cleanliness in healthcare environments: “We provide quality control processes, regular, rigorous audits and inspections, prioritised absence cover and a fl exible, confi dential service tailored to a practice’s precise requirements.”
Minster’s expertise in providing cleaning services for healthcare premises has helped them win a large number of contracts for the 41 branch nationwide network.
The Kingswood Health Centre, Bristol uses Minster with four dedicated cleaners working each night; and another fi ve GP Practices have asked Minster Cleaning Services Liverpool and Wirral to supply their daily cleaning bringing the total number of NHS practices cleaned by the branch to thirty. Following a recommendation from a large medical centre, the Nottingham branch was awarded the contract for cleaning another medical centre in Mansfi eld together with the newly built onsite pharmacy and Minster Cleaning Services Leeds recently won the contract to clean a medical centre in the city thanks to a number of recommendations from local practices.
Concerned that their previous contractors were not prepared for CQC compliance, a large health centre in the Blackpool area awarded their contract to Minster Cleaning Services Lancashire and a large Walsall-based medical centre now uses Minster Cleaning Services Dudley, Walsall, and Wolverhampton on a consultancy basis for advice about fully meeting the requirements of the National Specifi cations for Cleanliness in the NHS: Guidance on setting and measuring performance outcomes in primary care medical and dental premises. Last year, Minster Cleaning Services Norfolk & Suffolk gained eleven healthcare clients and the Birmingham branch of Minster Cleaning Services now cleans nearly fi fty medical / dental surgeries on a daily basis.
Minster Cleaning Services was established in 1982 and is a leading force in commercial cleaning in the UK. For more information, please visit
