# Access Control for Hospital Wards, Pharmacy and Stores

Control the doors that matter: pharmacy, stores, records, theatre and staff areas. Leave public and emergency routes open.

A key that was copied once will open your door for as long as the lock stays the same.

Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that.

**In this guide you will see:**

- Pharmacy and stores
- Records room
- Staff areas

Why this matters now

## Every day with uncontrolled doors is a day you cannot say who was inside.

### If you wait

- Keys copied and never returned
- A leaver who still holds access
- No record of who entered the store room

### What you get

- Cards, fingerprints or faces set by door and by hour
- Remove a person in one click
- A log of every entry

## Key takeaways

- Pharmacy and stores
- Records room
- Staff areas
- Audit trail

## Why it matters

A hospital has public areas that must stay open and private areas that must stay safe. Access control opens the right doors for the right staff and keeps a record.

**Pharmacy and stores**: Only authorised staff enter.

**Records room**: Patient folders stay protected.

**Staff areas**: Staff move freely; visitors do not.

**Audit trail**: A record of who entered and when.

## What to check before you buy

| Check | Why it matters |
| --- | --- |
| Doors to control | Pharmacy, stores, records, theatre, staff areas |
| Reader type | Card for general, fingerprint for sensitive |
| Lock type | Fail-safe on emergency routes |
| Exit button and break glass | Safe exit at every door |
| Power backup | Battery so doors work in a cut |
| Fire integration | Doors release when the fire alarm sounds |
| Staff changes | Remove leavers the same day |

## How we set it up

1. **List the doors**: Which doors, and who needs which.
2. **Choose readers and locks**: To match door and risk.
3. **Install and cable**: Readers, locks, controller and power.
4. **Enrol staff**: Cards or fingerprints.
5. **Test with fire and power off**: Every door must release safely.
