5 COVER STORY: THEATRE LIGHTS OFFER ‘PERFECT CHARACTERISTICS’ FOR ALL SURGERIES


JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING AND ESTATE MANAGEMENT


FEATURES 18 BUILDING AN EMERGENCY HOSPITAL IN TWO WEEKS


How do you build a 650-bed hospital in two weeks? Garry Bowker, Regional director of Integrated Health Projects (IHP) and VINCI Construction UK, tells the behind-the- scenes story of NHS Nightingale North West in Manchester.


24 CALM APPROACH TO COVID-19 IN THE FALKLANDS ISLANDS Martyn Barlow describes some of the particular challenges for he and his Estates team with the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic – including maintaining a sufficient oxygen supply for clinical use, protecting elderly and especially vulnerable patients, and reconfiguring or isolating ventilation supply and extract systems as a new ‘zoning’ system was implemented.


29 UNDERTAKING FIXED WIRE TESTING EFFICIENTLY


Michael Joubert, the ‘architect behind’, and head of operations for, EDIS (Electrical Distribution Information System), a system used by organisations to manage their electrical compliance, takes a look at the priorities and requirements when undertaking fixed wire testing and reporting, and at the pitfalls if best practice is not followed.


35 MAINTAINING WATER QUALITY DURING COVID-19


With emergency hospitals recently having to be set up at very short notice in a number of UK locations, regulatory analyst in the water supply sector, Laura Smith, explains the legal and regulatory requirements that both NHS Trusts operating such facilities, and those constructing them and installing plumbing systems within them, need to be aware of as they apply to water supply.


41 A STAGED APPROACH TO CARBON REDUCTION


With the UK currently not ‘on track’ to achieve the fourth or fifth carbon reduction targets introduced under the Climate Change Act, the Carbon & Energy Fund’s Technical director argues that there is a strong case ‘for a strategic investment in the fundamentals of a futureproofed energy infrastructure that can be started now, maintains savings throughout its life, and is ultimately adaptable enough to taking advantage of future technologies as they come on stream’.


56 BOOSTING HOSPITAL WASHROOM HYGIENE Recently, handwashing has taken on an even more significant role than usual in hospitals and other healthcare facilities to prevent the spread of pathogens and maintain the nation’s collective health. Carole Armstrong, Marketing manager at Delabie UK, examines some of the latest technological and design solutions now available for improving hygiene and maintaining infection control in washrooms.


60 FIRE AND ALARM SYSTEM FOR ROYAL PAPWORTH


Chris Smith, head of Project Delivery at Static Systems Group, explains how – working with main contractor, Skanska, building services engineers, TB+A, and a number of other suppliers – the company masterminded the ‘bespoke’ design, supply, and installation of a complex and comprehensive fire and alarm management system, which also interfaces with one of its own nurse call systems, to protect patients, visitors, and staff, at the new Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge.


June 2020 Health Estate Journal 3 46 FEELING SAFE IN THE HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT


As hospitals restart routine treatments, and GP practices encourage anyone worried about their ailments to make contact with their doctor, how can healthcare environments reassure visitors that they have taken every precaution to effectively maintain the hygiene of their buildings for all visitors, but in particular those who are prone to getting sick or risk the worsening of their initial condition? A water controls and sanitaryware specialist explains how the company is playing its part with a new range of ‘disinfection solutions’.


51 DON’T TAKE YOUR EYE OFF WATER SAFETY


With the key steps to ensure patient, staff, and visitor safety during the coronavirus crisis likely to be uppermost in the minds of healthcare estates teams, Dr Susanne Surman-Lee, a clinical scientist, and director of independent public health microbiological consultancy, Leegionella Ltd, warns such personnel against any relaxation of stringent water safety policies and procedures in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
