The healthcare sector faces significant challenges, requiring a delicate balance between security, safety, and operational efficiency across diverse facilities. Modern healthcare estates, such as hospitals, include various critical areas—staff zones, morgues, patient accommodations, plant rooms, and infrastructure hubs—that demand advanced security solutions. These facilities must ensure compliance with evolving standards like the Health Technical Memorandums (HTMs) to safeguard water and electricity supplies, mitigate contamination risks, and prevent unauthorised access.

In environments operating 24/7, such as hospitals, maintaining smooth operations is vital. Effective security solutions enable precise access control, streamlining workflows and improving accountability. The integration of advanced technologies like ABLOY’s eCLIQ system demonstrates how modern locking mechanisms, combined with web-based management, can enhance security while providing valuable insights into access patterns. This ensures not only the protection of assets and infrastructure but also the safety of patients and staff, all while meeting the highest operational standards.
