HAND WASHING
SAVES LIVES According to a report by NHS England, approximately 300,000 of its patients are affected by a hospital acquired infection (HCAI) every year at a cost of approximately £1 billion a year.
Although many hospitals in the UK maintain very low rates of infection, HCAIs are still too prevalent and are increasingly seen as a global problem.
Preventing the risk of HCAIs is essential, as Manty Stanley, Managing Director at TEAL Patents said: “It is universally acknowledged that hands are the principal route for cross- infection. Simply by encouraging medical staff to adopt a simple hand washing habit before and after treating patients, can save lives in healthcare establishments.
“Hospitals must ensure staff, patients and visitors have abundant access to hand washing facilities wherever and whenever they may be needed in order to help prevent the spread of illness and infection.”
TEAL Patents manufactures portable hand wash units which need no access to mains water or drainage. TEAL has been working in partnership with healthcare organisations and NHS infection control departments for over 15 years to design and provide units to meet specific requirements.
Designed to educate and encourage the correct hand washing procedure, TEAL has created the Stop n’Wash™

The town’s Orbital Shopping Park has benefitted from a multi-million-pound investment to improve accessibility for all visitors; able and disabled. The ease with which visitors can now get to and around the shopping park, has been delivered by better pedestrian flow, a new customer service centre, plus more, and new toilets, including a state-of-the-art Changing Places suite.
The Changing Places, supplied and installed by Clos-o-Mat- Britain’s leading provider of ‘away from home’ disabled toilet solutions- enables anyone who needs assistance when toileting to do so with dignity and optimum hygiene. Bigger than conventional wheelchair-accessible toilets, the Changing Places at Orbital also has more equipment, specifically a height-adjustable washbasin, ceiling track X/Y hoist and wall-mounted, height-adjustable adult-sized changing bench.
“When planning the refurbishment, we asked the local community what facilities they would like, and a Changing Places was suggested,” explained Jamie Turner, Centre Manager for Broadgate Estates, which manages the Orbital Shopping Park owned by British Land. “We aim to provide a safe, accessible and enjoyable shopping experience, and accessibility is top of our agenda.”
Added Kelvin Grimes, away from home Toileting Project Manager for Clos-o-Mat,
“People who use facilities such as Changing Places tell us that without them, they simply can’t do things most of us take for granted, like a trip to the shops. The options, without a Changing Places or similar, are to lie a loved one on the floor of a public convenience to change them- with all the associated safety, sanitary considerations that go with that, go home, or not go out at all.”
Clos-o-Mat is Britain’s leading provider of disabled toilet solutions in and out of home, including Changing Places toilets, enabling tens of thousands of people with special needs and disabilities to undertake their personal care with dignity, independence and optimum hygiene.
