t has been estimated that the UK population will rise by almost 10 million over the next 25 years. With resources in the NHS already stretched, the media has
reported on some major failings recently. However, the healthcare system faces challenges on a daily basis, where ward overcrowding and patients occupying corridors has become commonplace. In an age of austerity, it seems these issues are only set to continue. When it comes to infection control,
if correct decontamination procedures cannot be adhered to easily, overcrowding in hospitals can increase the spread of common pathogens, such as MRSA, C. diffi cile or norovirus. Staff need to decontaminate beds and areas quickly so they can be back in use with minimum delay, and the management of scarce resources has become an ongoing challenge. Outsourcing services such as decontamination is one way to cope with a growing number of patients. As a result, the healthcare decontamination sector has seen rapid growth in recent years. This approach can let nursing staff focus on their primary role of patient care. This presents a market opportunity for decontamination specialists, such as Bio-Rite Ltd, to expand. Bio-Rite’s staff have over 40 years’ experience in decontamination and infection-control management, working with clients including the NHS, local authorities, and care and nursing homes, and demand for its services continues to grow. By partnering with healthcare professionals, Bio-Rite has developed a clear operational strategy to ensure organisations meet prescribed performance indicators and, in turn, make a signifi cant contribution to providing the best infection-free environment for vulnerable patients. As well as the NHS, care homes also
represent an important area of Bio-Rite’s work. Some of this relates to educating staff , as well as providing decontamination through its network of fully trained franchisees. It continues to be a concern
that some institutions simply ‘wipe over’ used care equipment. However, this is not a suffi cient procedure to control most pathogens eff ectively.
Bio-Rite has successfully performed more than 250 hospital-area
decontaminations over the last six years. Using specialised equipment, including hydrogen peroxide vapour technology, it can decontaminate areas that are infected or are prone to infection safely and eff ectively, and its service has been proven in over 40 NHS hospitals across the UK. From its ISO 9001-accredited facility in Alton, Hampshire, Bio-Rite is now extending its services throughout the UK. By recruiting and training more dedicated franchisees, Bio-Rite aims to continue making a valuable contribution to society. In turn, it aims to continue making a signifi cant impact on reducing infection within institutions in the UK for the benefi t of patient safety.
The Bio-Rite franchise has already
been pre-approved by leading UK banks for up to 60 per cent lending. This can be a great help for those keen to start a Bio-Rite franchise. Bio-Rite is also a provisional member of the British

Franchise Association, and staff and franchisees are also members of the Infection Prevention Society. Bio-Rite franchisee Blandine Hosker commented: “Hospitals and care homes need to tackle common threats like MRSA, C. diffi cile or norovirus on a daily basis. Bio- Rite is one of the few companies in the UK that is able to off er the range of products and services that are needed to reduce infections within such environments. “In relation to the franchise, I have been
impressed with the team’s experience and services and a ready need in the marketplace. I also like the idea of helping to protect vulnerable patients through eff ective infection control.” If you are interested in prioritising patient care through infection prevention, visit the Bio-Rite website today for more information.
