It’s an environment where hygiene standards are paramount, with the ongoing challenge of preventing cross-contamination and hospital-acquired infections. Rising cost and a requirement to maintain superior patience care prompted Tameside NHS’s cleaning team to seek a more efficient solution.
The Challenge
Cleaning more than 20 square miles of hospital buildings covering a diverse range of risk areas, Tameside NHS required a cleaning solution that would enhance infection control while simplifying the transportation of cleaning products and equipment across hospital buildings.
Our Solution
Arrow County Supplies responded with a comprehensive assessment of the Trust’s cleaning processes, recommending a bespoke modular trolley system. Designed specifically to meet the hospitals’ requirements, our modular trollies offered:
- Custom configurability, using the flexible modular design to optimise usability and efficiency.
- Enhanced infection control, including an integrated pre-dosed mopping system, high-capacity internal storage cupboard, and secure waste disposal unit to ensure best-practice cleaning procedures across the hospital.
- Improved operational efficiency, facilitating effective management of cleaning operations and more efficient deep cleaning.
Sucessful implementation and results
Following a successful trial period, the custom trollies were implemented hospital-wide and immediately proved effective. The hospital’s Domestic Manager commented:
