Services > HospitalsNHS hospitals are in a unique position. They are open 24/7 and they are open to everyone. Drunks, offenders, the mentally ill: all these are legitimate users.
It would be safe to say that the majority of people using a hospital at any time are preoccupied and anxious. Because of this they are particularly vulnerable to theft. Therapeutic staff need to keep their attention on their jobs, not on the potential for crime.
So hospitals present a particularly challenging security problem. Security has to be designed in, with every tool at our disposal. Lighting, cameras, even the arrangement of signage, can reduce the attraction to the opportunistic offender.
Fidelis can offer a range of specifically focused solutions. We are particularly eager to be involved at an early stage in security planning, as we have extensive expertise at this level and seek to implement cost-effective strategies to pre-empt issues.
Car crime is a particular problem in this sector. Hospital car parks are prey to opportunistic thieves seeking the absent-mindedly unlocked vehicle or hoping for drugs from medical bags. Fidelis offers a particular service designed for this problem. If it suits your needs we may well be able to take over management of your car park. We will assess your specific needs and circumstances and calculate the cost of effective security compared with estimated revenue. If the figures add up, we can offer a self-financing arrangement, where Fidelis provides security, while also purchasing, installing and managing not only the pay & display facilities, but also the car itself, thereby allowing you to focus on better things.
