During Covid, SGC Security Services worked with Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as their Security Partner delivering Security to the Trusts Stakeholders, Patients, Visitors and Staff.
The trust required not only security duties for the main hospital but also 1 to 1 bedwatch duties for mental health and dementia patients. The main security duties were to supplement the main Hospital Safety Team carrying out Patrols and fast bleep incident response to incidents across the Trust, whereas the 1 – 1 bedwatch cover was a very specialist role supplying officers trained in mental health awareness, dementia awareness with a special emphasis on conflict resolution and physical intervention in a healthcare environment. The contract can fluctuate between 168 and 4500 hours per week depending on the needs of the Trust.
We acted as both a Security Consultancy and as a critical friend to the Trust being their Security sector expert, on for example legislation, Security risk planning, Conflict Management and Physical Intervention training and policy writing all based around the safety and security of Patients, Staff and Visitors and asset protection.
Blackpool teaching hospitals NHS foundation Trust, after many months of planning and working in partnership with SGC Security Services, had a road map that would allow a safer environment for Patients Visitors and Staff. This partnership has meant that the Trust have a robust Security Offer to its stakeholders and clients that is more than just fit for purpose.
This collaboration between the Trust and SGC Security Services can be and has been mirrored now at many other Trusts across the UK and is a shining example of best practice that can be adopted in any Healthcare environment anywhere in the world.
