Healthcare

Hospitals and clinics must stay open and welcoming while protecting patients, staff, medicines and equipment.

Healthcare security works around the clock, with people under stress and areas that must stay closed. It usually means managing busy entrances, supporting staff in difficult situations, and securing pharmacies, records and stores.

Typical risks

  • Crowded entrances, waiting areas and visiting hours
  • Aggression towards staff, especially in emergency departments
  • Theft of medicines, equipment and personal belongings
  • Unauthorised access to wards, records and stores
  • Evacuating patients who cannot move without help

How we protect it

  • Officers at entrances and in emergency departments
  • Visitor control at the wards, following your visiting rules
  • Access control and cameras on pharmacies, records and stores
  • Panic buttons for staff in difficult areas, with a rapid response
  • Fire equipment and drills planned for patients who need help to leave

Services often combined

Questions clients ask

How do officers handle distressed patients and relatives?

Officers are briefed on your procedures and trained for your setting: they calm a situation where they can, and call your staff and the response team when needed.

Can you cover nights only?

Cover is planned around your hours, and officers work 12-hour shifts with relievers.

Can officers control access to the wards at night?

Yes. Access to the wards follows your visiting rules, and officers check who comes in outside visiting hours.
