Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - Strangers kept out - Stock protected - Patients safer - Answers, not guesses ## The problem In most hospitals anyone can walk into most places. Visitors wander into wards, strangers sit in the pharmacy corridor and nobody can say who was in the store on the night the stock went missing. Access control puts a reader on the doors that matter, gives each person only the doors they need, and keeps a record of every entry. That record is what turns a vague suspicion into an answer. **Strangers kept out**: Only the right people reach wards and stores. **Stock protected**: Entry to stores and pharmacy is recorded. **Patients safer**: Fewer unknown people near the vulnerable. **Answers, not guesses**: A log shows who entered and when. ## How it works How it works The need or the riskSomething happens in a hospital The system noticesAccess control picks it up The right person is toldAt the desk, on a phone or on a screen Staff respondKnowing where and what A record is keptWhere the system keeps one, for review ## What to check before you buy | Check | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | Which doors matter | Wards, stores, pharmacy, theatres, records | | Who needs what | A simple table of people and doors | | Safe exits | Locks release for fire; plan with your adviser | | Records | How long entries are kept | | Maintenance | A plan, spares and a response time agreed before you buy | | Your own requirements | Confirm them with your regulator and advisers | ## How we set it up 1. **Walk a hospital**: We note every door, room, route and risk. 2. **Draw the plan**: Where access control goes and what it covers. 3. **Cable and power**: Cabling, power and backup to every point. 4. **Fit and configure**: Installed, set up and labelled. 5. **Test and train**: We test every point and train your staff. ## What we supply We design, supply and install access control for hospitals, clinics and care homes.
