Healthcare

mental health Our mental health experience is extensive and includes all types of work across low and medium secure hospital environments.Work in this sector is challenging, often in an occupied environment where phasing is critical and where effective engagement with contractors is vital to ensure that sites are secured and that operational areas are safe.

acute care

Our work in this sector includes: • Specialist dementia care • Inpatient wards • Inpatient bedrooms • Day and social rooms

Working within acute hospital environments is particularly challenging, the need to facilitate uninterrupted operation for the surrounding departments is key. Many projects are complex by their very nature, often completed prior to the coordination and installation of medical equipment. Projects inevitably include phasing, sometimes such phasing can be complex, to ensure that the works can be completed with the minimum of disruption to the hospital.

Ingleton Wood has designed and worked in many acute, specialist departments with extensive experience including:

• Section 136/ secure entrance suites • Treatment and consulting rooms • Kitchen and dining facilities

• Operating theatres • Endoscopy suites • Inpatient wards including dementia care • Accident and emergency • Fetal scanning units • Critical care and high dependency units • X-Ray imaging suites including fluoroscopy, CT, MRI and ultrasound

• Linear accelerators (LINAC) • Renal dialysis • Stroke units • Outpatient waiting areas • Outpatients areas including phlebotomy, urology, urodynamics, early pregnancy, laser treatment and lung function • Aseptic suites • Support areas including call centres, laundries, pharmacy dispensaries and robots, estates, pathology and main plant areas.

The Practice specialises in both secure and non- secure environments and is fully conversant with access control, security and anti-ligature design requirements along with privacy and dignity issues. Our objective is to develop design solutions which provide freedom and meet the needs of patients, service users and staff.

• Dental surgeries • Oncology units

Building services are especially complex, both to isolate the project areas and to provide adequate capacities. Our Engineers are adept at designing IPS/UPS and specialist systems such as medical gases, nurse call, access control and fire preventions systems. We consult extensively with clinical teams and user groups to ensure that all stakeholder needs are incorporated.
