P4 has worked with the Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust since 2008 ‘to reduce risk and whole-life cost, ensure emergency lighting complies with BS 5266, and enable delivery of improved care outcomes’.
The UK’s largest cardiothoracic centre, the Trust operates the Royal Brompton Hospital in London (pictured), and Harefield Hospital in Middlesex. P4 said: “John Calvert, the Trust’s fire officer, recognised the importance of guaranteed testing of all the emergency lighting throughout the Trust’s buildings. The cost of manually testing would have been prohibitive.
“The Trust needed a modular solution that allowed gradual expansion. The system selected allows the Trust to set convenient, automatic, and individual emergency light testing times, minimising patient disturbance. Upgrading the emergency lighting is a long-term project. The Trust welcomed a partner that could provide a remote monitoring solution and would help it achieve wholelife cost and time-saving benefits in each phase.”
The equipment selected includes: A remotely monitored P4 FASTEL Link M-Web+ system monitoring over 600 emergency lights across the Harefield Hospital estate. A P4 wireless system, operating selftesting luminaires, comprising P4’s own LED Quatrum range, together with some converted other manufacturers’ mains luminaires, in the Chelsea Wing at the Royal Brompton Hospital.
