Meeting CQC requirements is essential for healthcare providers and if you are planning a treatment room refit it is certainly something you need to pay attention to.
CQC regulations say that your premises and equipment should be clean and suitable for the intended purpose. Fortunately there are some easy steps you can take to ensure that you adhere to this. Furniture, equipment, fixtures and fittings are just one area that can make a real difference.
Furniture
Choosing furniture that has been specially designed for medical use and is easy to clean should be an obvious choice. It is certainly an area where you shouldn’t compromise on quality or safety.
If budget is an issue then medical furniture packages can be a cost effective solution. A good package will include all the essential items you need to get your treatment room up and running.
Flooring
When it comes to the floor covering, you should choose something that is hard-wearing, water resistant and easy to clean.
Vinyl is the most suitable option for healthcare facilities. A selection of vinyl coverings is available including heavy duty options for high traffic areas and slip resistant options for extra safety.
Fixtures and Fittings
In clinical refits it is important to consider every aspect of the fit out and this even includes fixtures such as lighting, sinks, fixed storage units and blinds. Selecting the most hygienic and easy to clean options will help you minimise dirt and bacteria traps and keep your premises compliant.
When organising a clinical refit or refurbishment it is highly recommended that you get expert advice on all aspects of the fit out before making any purchasing decisions.
