One of the primary metrics many of us use when selecting a restaurant for the evening is the cleanliness rating. The 1-5 food hygiene rating has become commonplace in dining establishments across the country. But what about our medical centres and hospitals?
Recently, the NHS introduced a “Cleanliness Charter” which will require all healthcare settings to be judged based on the national standards of healthcare cleanliness. They will be audited and graded on a scale of 1-5 stars, with 5 stars denoting exceptional cleanliness and 1 denoting the need for immediate improvement.
And all such facilities will also be required to display their rating electronically on their premises.
Clean and proud
While it might seem like more red tape to negotiate for some establishments, it doesn’t have to be a point of contention. Indeed, it could be seen as an opportunity to promote the hygiene and professionalism of your practice.
Using one of our high-quality digital displays, you could proudly display your cleanliness rating while also using the display as everything from an announcements board to an educational tool.
The benefits of digital signage
By investing in digital signage solutions for your healthcare setting (whether it’s a hospital, mental health ward, dental care unit, GP surgery, clinic or care home) you’ll be privy to the following benefits:-
The charter must be displayed where it will be seen – for example, in or near ward and department entrances, outside lifts used by the public, and in circulation areas and waiting rooms. Our digital signage is flexible enough to be used comfortably in all of these locations and more.
The crystal-clear high definition screens available today will make the charter and the rating of the healthcare setting easy to read.
Change messaging on the fly as and when regulations change or new information if it’s brought to light.
A range of available options to choose from. Digital display solutions are available as anything from freestanding displays to large wall-mounted systems and everything in-between.
Easy to install and set up.
With the public more aware of cleanliness guidelines than ever before in the wake of the pandemic it’s never been more important for healthcare environments to prove they are taking it seriously.
So, don’t see these new regulations as a hurdle – see them as an opportunity to promote yourself and invest in some very exciting and flexible new technology.
