The DiMHN and event co- organiser, Step Exhibitions, say this award ‘has no limits in terms of the size or the function of an outside space within a mental health environment – it could be recreational, for therapy, education, contemplation and calming, or as part of
the building design to be used in conjunction with the therapy and care taking place within the facility itself’. The eight other award categories – the criteria are detailed on the event website as per the aforementioned link – are as follows: l Product Innovation. l Concept Product Innovation. l Service User Engagement. l Project of the Year – Refurbishment. l Project of the Year – New Build. l Art Installation. l Clinical Team. l Low Cost – High Impact.
All awards are open to all services related to mental health, including dementia, learning disabilities, and autism. For help completing the entry form, please email Chelsey Clark at chelseyclark@step-

Rada’s new UK Specification Sales manager
Washroom controls specialist, Rada, has appointed Natasha Nugent as its new UK Specification Sales manager. She joins from GEZE UK,
where she was a Specification manager responsible for driving sales and future pipeline work across the EMEA region. An experienced sales manager, her previous roles have spanned healthcare, education, and other commercial sectors. ‘An industry expert with a wealth of
experience in the building solutions sector’, her appointment comes ‘at a pivotal moment’ in Rada’s expansion and growth in the healthcare sector. It added: “Natasha will focus on building durable, long-term relationships with commercial partners across the specification chain for builds and upgrades in hospitals and other care environments, helping them identify and specify intelligent washroom control systems for the benefit of
6
patients and healthcare professionals. As health services continue to recover from COVID-19, she will also ensure that our customers are able to improve environmental and financial efficiency across their facilities and estates.” Natasha Nugent said: “I
am excited to join the Rada team, to help drive its ambition to engineer digital
solutions which allow NHS and other healthcare providers to safely and sustainably manage water usage. I am particularly looking forward to working on the roll-out of the Intelligent Care range, supporting the NHS to provide safe environments for the best possible patient care at this crucial moment for healthcare delivery. As the UK also continues to face new and growing environmental challenges, the Rada team and I stand ready to help our partners deliver on their sustainability targets through reducing water consumption and energy use.”
Cloud-based and BS 5839-1- compliant, the Digital Fire Logbook is ‘priced and designed to replace a range of paper logbooks’, and ‘pre-configured to bring together a huge number of fire, safety, and security topics in one place’. Tio Fire Systems explained: “Quick to set up, and as easy to use as paper, it solves a multitude of issues, and radically improves safety, relationships, and compliance, for all parties.”
The digital logbook includes a Compliance Task Manager that automatically schedules and tracks tasks, a customisable guidance module that helps staff complete jobs, linked asset registers and maintenance, variances, a false alarm and activation tracker, a custom tasks creator, a fire visitor logbook, and digital document storage. All users get a performance and compliance dashboard, permitting oversight and management of all properties from a single site. Instead of a paper document in a cabinet at the building entrance, a QR code is displayed, giving either open access to the cloud-based records or, where security is a concern, access to all permitted individuals and organisations. Jason Hill, Sales manager,Tio Fire Safety, said: “Paper logbooks are too often inaccurate, incomplete, duplicated, misplaced, or lost. While other products do call themselves logbooks, they are in reality limited one-way customer portals or engineer tools, not genuine improvements on the paper logbook that permit contributions from all stakeholders. Our Digital Fire Logbook delivers all of the required information, which can be accessed and entered on any web- connected device.”
