Healthcare Estates Innovative window incorporating a sliding frameless vent
Pensher Skytech describes its Skytech Lite – which will be on show – as ‘an innovative healthcare window designed, developed, and manufactured, to create a therapeutic environment with safety, security, and recovery, in mind’. Incorporating a frameless sliding vent, it increases access to natural light without compromising its anti-ligature attributes, and is reportedly well suited to use in low, medium, and high secure inpatient mental healthcare facilities, CAMHS units, complex care and dementia services, and Young Offenders’ institutes. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation
Trust recently installed a Skytech Lite within its Meadowfield Hospital ‘136 suite’ in Worthing. The window is designed to
maximise the glazed element, and is constructed from thermally enhanced steel profiles – for a more aesthetically and architecturally pleasing appearance. The steel frame has no mechanical joints that can weaken, increasing longevity and strength.
A single courtyard door, constructed from thermally enhanced mild steel profiles, with an anti-finger trap style and a concealed closing device, has also been installed at Meadowfield Hospital. Pensher Skytech is part of the Renown Group, an engineering company based in the North-East of England, which, having traditionally manufactured products for the defence and security sectors, is now also targeting healthcare.
Framework partners to introduce themselves
In Manchester the new Principal Supply Chain Partners (PSCPs) for ProCure22 – the Department of Health’s capital works framework that now runs to 2020, will be on hand to introduce themselves and the new Framework’s benefits. This third iteration of the Framework will build upon the success of the past 12 years, where some £9 bn of awarded capital schemes have been delivered through over 1,000 individual projects for over 250 NHS organisations. Along the way, construction costs have been reduced by 15% (between 2010 and 2015), and project KPIs have ‘exceeded UK industry benchmarks in every area’.
P22 offers clients the use of standard contract templates and administration pro- formas, central monitoring for compliance, access to over 1,200 SMEs, fair payment compliance, and a Guaranteed Maximum Price. In addition in Manchester, the PSCPs will present the latest Repeatable Rooms: Emergency Department treatment rooms and a ‘chair-centric’ bay.
As previously, these rooms have been developed following extensive literature review, collation, and assessment, of current experience and best practice, and broad stakeholder engagement. Show visitors will be able to explore all
the Repeatable Rooms in ‘virtual reality’, and talk to members of the Core Team who co-ordinated and developed this work.
