POLYFLOR LAUNCHES DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY

The hour long dementia-friendly flooring session includes information about the condition and the appropriate design principles which need to be considered when specifying flooring for dementia- friendly environments.
Polyflor’s CPD offering also includes sessions on the “Specification

The service aims to support healthcare providers in preparing for summer temperature peaks, as well as forward planning in case of major chiller or boiler plant failure.
The national hire company will provide free consultations to healthcare organisations, to assess and ensure that effective emergency HVAC contingency plans are in place.
The initiative will see Andrews Sykes’ healthcare HVAC experts visit major hospital sites and smaller community health buildings across the UK, along with other sensitive long-term facilities, such as residential care homes.
In hospitals and healthcare facilities, effective temperature control is critical, however contingency planning for cooling solutions is often overlooked. With professional consultation, Estates Managers can help ensure continuity of care with immediate mobilisation to offset the effect of rising temperatures in critical patient care areas and medical support functions.
Additional cooling is often required in older hospital buildings or facilities which have been adapted for modern use, where fixed HVAC systems may be insufficient and natural ventilation limited due to increasing restrictions on maximum window openings.
