Healthcare environments present unique partition requirements that combine the infection control demands of clinical settings with the operational realities of large facilities management programmes. NHS Estates and Facilities teams regularly need to partition off areas for refurbishment or infection control without disrupting adjacent clinical operations. Temporary containment systems are essential for planned maintenance programmes in live hospitals, and any partition system must comply with NHS HTM and HBN guidance for infection prevention and control.
Mercia Industrial has a proven track record supplying infection control and construction containment systems to NHS trusts and private healthcare providers across the UK. Our fire-rated, wipeable-surface partition systems can be installed in live clinical environments with minimal disruption. Our installation teams hold DBS clearance and can work in clinical areas in compliance with NHS visitors and contractors policies. We understand the zero-tolerance approach to infection risk that healthcare environments demand.
