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.

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.


Engineered to integrate within the very fabric of an architectural structure,


the


lintel shutters remove the need for an unsightly head-box, with built-in shutters sitting


within the load bearing lintel of an aperture. This causes minimal disruption 0845 050 8705 www.charter-global.com 02/05/2024 09:28


to the architecture and gives an attractive solution that doesn’t detract from the building design. With the external shutters finished in an appropriate Blue Bell colour, Charter Global provided a complete turnkey security shutter package to this project – even designing and installing the Integr8 security shutter system to the reception desks internally.
