OVERVIEW
SROMC is the new cancer support and information centre
based at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, providing
state of the art facilities for patients and their families across
North Yorkshire. Designed by IBI Group and constructed by Sir
Robert McAlpine, the centre offers patients the highest quality
treatments, teamed alongside an integrated supportive care and
complementary therapies.
As always in a healthcare environment, it is imperative that
good hand hygiene is maintained at all times to stop the cross
contamination of bacteria between users of the hospital. As door
furniture is an item that is frequently touched by many different
people, IBI Group wanted an ironmongery solution that would
protect patients and visitors against the cross contamination of
Healthcare Acquired Infections (HCIS) whilst having a matching
finish to rest of the mechanical hardware.
Antimicrobial Copper is the most effective touch surface material
in the fight against pathogeinic microbes, killing greater than
99.9% of bacteria within two hours of exposure. No other
material comes close. Historically, most antimicrobial copper
door furniture has a copper-like appearance but this would not
meet the requirement of a stainless steel aesthetic. By using our
unique Contego range of ironmongery formed from a proven
antimicrobial copper alloy that has the appearance of stainless
steel, Allgood were able to provide a solution that met the
architect’s requirements.
A full specification was created using Contego range such
as lever handles, push plates, pull handles, WC turns and
escutcheons complimented with satin stainless steel mechanical
hardware such as signage, door closers, locks and kick plates.
By selecting the truly unique Contego range, Allgood were able
to supply an ironmongery package that matched the aesthetic
throughout whilst providing protecting against the spread
of bacteria, reducing the risk of infection for the users of the
building.
