HEALTHCARE ESTATES Safer healthcare environments


Trend says it is ‘one of the leading providers of building energy management systems’, providing UK-manufactured ‘smart’ solutions which optimise building efficiency, increase energy savings, reduce healthcare-acquired infection potential, and deliver healthier facilities. Trend said: “We know


healthcare-acquired infections cost the NHS millions of pounds annually. Air quality is key to prevention, as is reassuring visitors and occupants that their healthcare environment is cleaner and healthier. From our Indoor Air Quality sensors, to our Healthy Building Dashboards (HBDs), we have solutions that can help you achieve your desired outcomes and KPIs.


“What if you could control your healthcare space to enable your available


spaces to fit your current needs, or redeploy unused space to relieve pressure in other critical areas? It’s about making sure that resources such as operating theatres are fit for purpose and ready at all times, i.e. not draining expensive utilities unnecessarily. Via digital maintenance solutions, we ensure your vital facilities are


correctly maintained at all times, and that issues are escalated to the appropriate party, often before issues arise – so you can maximise your onsite resource and only deploy to critical events. Smart healthcare utilises leading-edge controls and digital maintenance to safeguard your facilities and provide an optimal patient experience, while helping you meet your operational and carbon- neutral energy targets.

Covering sector’s most pressing issues


Published 10 times a year, and the official IHEEM magazine, Health Estate Journal (‘HEJ’) is an authoritative, topical publication covering the most important issues facing healthcare estates and facilities management and healthcare engineering professionals, and the


associated design, architectural, and construction supply chain. Each month the Journal – which is also fully accessible online – features technical articles on key issues, and the latest sector, product, and technology-related news. Each issue also incorporates an Institute News section reporting on recent IHEEM activities and events –


including IHEEM’s seminar programme – and events undertaken through the Institute’s extensive UK Branch network.


Copies of the journal will be available on the IHEEM stand in the exhibition foyer. Step Communications also


publishes The Clinical Services Journal and The Care Home Environment, the annual international publication, the IFHE Digest, and the IHEEM Handbook – a comprehensive guide to the Institute, its structure, branches, key events, and the many benefits of membership of the UK’s leading institute for healthcare estates and healthcare engineering professionals.


Automatic doors for where hygiene is paramount


The record CLEAN series of automatic door models is ‘ideal when the highest level of hygiene is required in healthcare facilities’, says the company – reportedly ‘the UK’s largest manufacturer, installer, maintainer, and service-provider’ of automated pedestrian entrances and aluminium shopfronts.


record said: “These tightly closing single and double sliding doors support the maintenance of a sterile environment with their hermetic sealing and easy-to- clean qualities, and are particularly suited to use in operating theatres and cleanrooms. With a wide variety of


materials to choose from for the door cores and surface finishes, as well as the design of the frame and sealing system, specifiers can build on the basic record CLEAN model to make the door suitable for all kinds of applications.”


Radiation protection from electrons, X- rays, and gamma rays, can be achieved by adding a full-surface lead insert in the door leaf, in the inside of the frame profile, as well as the plinth itself, with a range of lead equivalent values to choose from.


record added: “With modified seals and heat-absorbing core, the basic CLEAN door becomes a certified smoke door control. Add a fire-retardant core, additional intumescent seals, and a PVC cover to fulfil hygiene requirements, and this model becomes a fire door with combined smoke protection.”
