Physical security for healthcare facilities T


he government’s Health Building Note gives best practice guidance on the design and planning of new healthcare buildings and on the adaptation/extension of existing facilities. It states that “security measures should be incorporated into the design of all healthcare buildings to help protect the safety of patients, staff and visitors and the security of the premises”.


Charter Global have worked on a wide range of healthcare projects providing door and window security shutters to ensure the physical security needs of doctor’s surgeries, hospitals and medical centres are met. The Blue Bell Health Centre is a £5.7m new build, green project in Merseyside to house four GP practices, a pharmacy, and many other health services using expensive medical equipment.


The building was built around a structural framing system (SFS), with a striking timber clad and render design externally, so an aesthetically sensitive security solution was essential to ensure the intricate design was not compromised.

A new ventilation with heat recovery option can achieve performance better than anything else on the market, meaning massive savings on energy bills. Mistrale Fusion Deo is the concept of the UK’s leading independent commercial air movement specialist, Gilberts Blackpool, who was instrumental in pioneering hybrid ventilation with its core Mistrale Fusion unit. The latest evolution achieves up to 65% heat recovery- signifi cantly better than other similar type systems. That outstanding performance means that for a typical school, energy bills could be cut dramatically by recovering heat that would otherwise be wasted, whilst ensuring a indoor air quality compliant, well-ventilated space. Gilberts’ dynamic Mistrale Fusion Deo will become, the company believes, the ‘go-to’ solution for net zero building services design, especially in educational establishments. The ventilation performance is compliant with BB101 and the DFE Output Specifi cation. Further, it avoids overheating in the building, being TM52 comfort compliant. And it is quiet- meeting BB93 guidelines even for special educational needs.

system from Charter Global was specified for the exclusive design of the building, as it is especially suitable for fast track build styles, such as SFS, or timber frame.
