Changing Places in the healthcare industry
Hospitals are failing to provide proper facilities for thousands of out-patients and visitors, yet that could be transformed simply by installing appropriate toilets. One in 284 people in the UK need a Changing Places toilet. Yet of the UK’s 2,300 hospitals, fewer than 15 have the ‘bigger and better’ accessible (disabled) facility. To help estates and facilities managers easily understand the need, the requirement and the criteria, Clos-o-Mat, one of the UK’s leading disabled toileting solutions provider, has published a white paper: Provision of Changing Places Accessible Toilets in the Healthcare/Hospitals Industry. Available for download from the company’s website
www.clos-o-mat.com, the white paper covers the rationale behind a Changing Places toilet, quantifies the need to provide such a facility in healthcare establishments, and covers legislative and ‘good practice’ guidelines. Since the Changing Places concept was developed, over 500 have been installed across the UK, with Clos-o-Mat being the leading supplier.

The hygienic surface concept embodies the key criteria and recommendations that facilities managers need to consider when designing, installing and maintaining a sanitised environment. The walls play an important role in this concept, as getting this area of the site right will help to minimise contamination risks and ensure an unsoiled, functional and fit-for-purpose setting. To provide devel- opers and facilities managers with a wall coating that meets these criteria, Flowcrete UKhas developed Peran WW, a water based hygienic sealer that can be applied within clean room environments to provide a coloured gloss finish.
