Reducing the spread of bacteria in hospitals is a critical task. Armitage Shanks taps and basins, recently fitted in the Alexander wing of the royal London hospital, are playing their part in helping to defeat this aggressive enemy.
Everything about our National Health Service is on a lavish scale. It is the largest organisation in Europe; in a typical week, more than 800,000 people will be treated in NHS hospital outpatient clinics, over 10,000 babies will be delivered by the NHS, and NHS surgeons will perform around 1,200 hip operations, 3,000 heart operations and 1,050 kidney operations. And, although over 1.4 million people get treated at home by NHS staff each and every week, it is fated that for some a hospital stay will be on the cards one of the reasons that a major up-to-the-minute hospital building and refurbishment programme is under technique. Britain's biggest private money Initiative (PFI) hospital project, with a budget of £1.1 billion and a ten-year programme, is the transformation of healthcare facilities at the St Bartholomew's and Royal London hospitals. The Alexander Wing in the Royal London hospital has just been fitted with 32 new en-suite bathrooms and wash stations, part of a '100 bed enabling project', featuring products from the HTM 64 compliant Armitage Shanks range. Although just a small part of the 'Bart's Scheme', as the development is referred to, the Alexander Wing provides a tremendous specimen of the high standard of equipment being used throughout the project. In redeveloping the Alexander Wing the aim was to supply private hygiene facilities that would be long lasting, easy to preserve and user amiable. Architects HOK worked carefully with the project contractors to create the en-suite bathrooms attractive as well as practical, specifying high quality Armitage Shanks ceramics which have a lifespan that exceeds the hospital refurbishment cycle.
The laminate panels can be removed when maintenance is needed. Almost any colour combination is possible, obviously we stayed within the modern disability discrimination act guiding principle concerning colour contrast.
In these sort of highly utilized areas it makes sense to apply a quality product rather than a cheaper import.
The infection fight was never far from the minds of the fashion and installation team and products were selected with this factor in mind. One of the simplest ways to transfer infection is by the humble tap or mixer. The modern Markwik range reduces contact transmission by eliminating the places where infectious bacteria conceal. Contact of any kind can be prevented if a mixer with either a proximity sensor or a time flow sensor is fitted. The proximity sensor is activated by the user's hand movement within the range of its sensor. It switches off the water when hand movement stops or moves out of sensor range; this is predominantly sufficient in areas where water saving is esteemed. With the time flow sensor which is similarly activated by moving a hand over the sensor, the water will flow for a predetermined length of time, set when installing the equipment. This is particularly appropriate for clinical scrub up areas.
Armitage Shanks Contour basins are being used throughout the "Bart's Scheme". And, as with the Markwik mixers they are often twin with, they have been designed to reduce the opportunities of cross-infection. Contour basins have no tap holes so brass ware has to be wall mounted; this uncluttered design makes the basin very easy to clean. Similarly, the lack of overflow and chain stay holes eliminates two areas that could harbor germs. Contour's back outlet formation also has hygiene benefits; firstly that no standing water can be held in the basin, secondly, all garbage services can be concealed behind paneling or block work ducts. The simple, even old fashioned, message "Now wash your hands" has become even more eminent over the last few years with the emergence of MRSA and other "super-bugs" contracted in hospitals. The fashion of the brass ware and sanitary ware used within a hospital has an important purpose to play in making our hospitals safer and protecting the lives of staff and patients alike.
