Access control in hospitals receives serious consideration from all parties | SecureView.ie

A hospital is by its very nature a public place with a constant flow of patients, staff and visitors where urgency associated with admission may conflict with a need to document entrance and egress through rigorous procedures. These may slow down movement but are vital to security and can be part of a delicate balancing act for facilities managers. Access control in hospitals receives serious consideration from all parties in the security community as can be seen in this case study at a major health trust.

King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of London's largest and busiest hospitals. It provides a full range of local services for over 700,000 people in south-east London and plays a key role in the training and education of medical and nursing students. The Trust is recognised internationally for its research in the field of liver disease and operates the largest liver transplantation programme in Europe.

The hospital site in Denmark Hill has a 950-bed acute care facility and acts as a referral centre in its fields of expertise for the wider population of southern England. A quarter of the UK's dentists study here. The Trust has complex needs for role-based access control which are being met by installer NT Security working in association with Dublin-based Access Control Technology (ACT).
