HEALTHCARE ESTATES
A key event for sanitaryware specialist
Sanitaryware manufacturer, Armitage Shanks, will showcase the latest additions to its Markwik 21+ range – the Comfort SQ pressure balance valve tap and Thermostatic SQ shower panel.
Comfort SQ is a manual mixer designed to enhance both safety and user comfort in healthcare settings. Its pressure balance valve technology ensures a stable water temperature, even when supply pressures fluctuate – significantly reducing scalding risk. The new Thermostatic SQ shower panel is built for high-demand environments, with an easy-to-maintain design and TMV3-approved thermostatic valve, offering precise sequential temperature control and anti- scald protection.
Armitage Shanks will also
display the latest updates to its award-winning Markwik 21+ thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) panel and deck-mounted two-hole tap collection, now engineered to operate from as low as 0.2 bar. These products are designed to deliver consistent performance even in low-pressure environments.
Anil Madan, the company’s Non-Residential
Marketing manager, said: “Healthcare Estates is a key event for the sector, and we’re proud to be leading the conversation on how healthcare environments can be better designed and built. It’s a great opportunity to share our knowledge and connect with others driving progress in the industry. Our Specification team will be on hand throughout the show to support with technical queries and project-specific advice.”
Specialist in premium radiation shielding
Raybloc, a specialist UK manufacturer of radiation shielding solutions, invites healthcare professionals, architects, and estate managers to experience ‘game-changing innovations’ on its stand in Manchester. Specialising in premium radiation shielding, Raybloc says it delivers compliant, patient- focused products ‘trusted by hospitals and research facilities nationwide’. It said:
“Returning this year are the Sense-X Screen and Internal Window – elegantly designed radiation shielding solutions integrating mood lighting proven to reduce patient anxiety and enhance the radiographer’s working environment. Visitors can also see the improved Raybloc Lead-Lined Doorset, with its unique flush-mounted LED Alert Strip, providing superior hazard visibility and safety during radiation exposure.” Raybloc will also exclusively unveil an
entirely new product and service – as it puts it, ‘taking its renowned precision and quality into a pioneering area beyond traditional X-ray protection’. It said: “Manufactured entirely in house at our UK facility, this innovation will redefine patient safety and operational excellence in controlled healthcare environments.”
A ‘groundbreaking’ offsite approach
Merit, which claims to be ‘the UK’s leading industrialised construction and digital manufacturing specialist’, will present its ‘groundbreaking offsite approach to delivering sustainable healthcare facilities, tailored to navigate the challenges of modern healthcare environments’. At its core, Merit says it is ‘focused on
transforming the construction industry into a more productive and efficient sector’. It said: “By completing facilities in a third of the time of traditional methods, we ensure healthcare providers benefit from modern
facilities that enhance patient care.” Among notable projects Merit is delivering
are Berwick’s new Community Hospital, York Hospital’s new ‘cutting-edge’ hybrid theatre
and MRI facility, and Bedford Hospital’s Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) Unit. It also recently completed a therapy-led rehabilitation unit on site at Norwich Community Hospital, facilitating patient transition from hospital care to community. Merit will be hosting a presentation as
part of the ‘Digital Technology & Innovation’ conference stream’ focusing on ‘The All-Electric Hospital, a Reality: Offsite Manufactured and Net Zero’ at Healthcare Estates from 3.30- 4.00 pm on 21 October. The photo shows offsite manufacture in progress at Merit’s Cramlington factory.

‘Innovation- driven’ water and air hygiene solutions
We all rely on the healthcare sector to keep us healthy and well. To do this, it needs to be in the best possible shape too – and compliance with relevant water and air hygiene legislation is essential. So says Rock Compliance, which adds:
“Legionella and Pseudomonas bacteria present a very real risk to vulnerable patients, and levels of these bacteria must be constantly monitored and controlled. Clean, safe ventilation makes an equally important contribution to the creation and maintenance of a compliant treatment and working environment.” To support hospitals
and the wider healthcare sector, Rock Compliance offers a range of ‘innovation-driven’ water hygiene and air hygiene solutions, developed to protect patients, staff, and visitors. Visitors to Stand A44 will be able
to see examples of the technology the company advances ‘to minimise risk, deliver compliance, and make it simple’ – Rock Compliance’s key promises to customers. This year, the team will showcase remote temperature monitoring, copper and silver ionisation, Hevasure remote monitoring for closed systems, and many other services. The business will also be looking to build
on the success of last year’s popular locally- sourced ‘giveaway’ bags, themed around the Manchester worker bee.
