The healthcare sector is under enormous strain, and combining security, safety and convenience is a huge challenge in a busy hospital environment. With highly sensitive areas operating 24/7, hospitals and clinics demand customised security solutions for healthcare settings.

Abloy offers hospital locking solutions to many of the security problems that Trusts face daily, and strive to deliver value and innovations that will relieve some of the pressure. We have been particularly successful in helping to improve key management and security of controlled drugs and have already installed bespoke security solutions in many hospitals across the UK.

Trusts that use a traditional drug cabinet system are on average

  • Wasting 240 minutes per shift. That's 30 minutes per nurse,

  • with three shifts per day, this equates to 720 wasted minutes per day

  • Multiply this by 365, and you have 262,800 wasted minutes per year or 182 days per year

This equates to losses of...

  • £2,425 per week

  • £9,700 per month

  • £116,400 per year

By combining our Digital Access Solutions and Traka solutions, healthcare organisations can reap a vast number of benefits, including:

  • Improved nursing efficiency
