A clear choice for NHS procurement The delivery of frontline healthcare services has never been more challenging. An expanding and ageing population, obesity levels, sedentary life-styles, more people living with chronic conditions and the need to fund new drugs and treatments, are all putting additional pressures on stretched budgets. Added to that is the need to deliver savings in a challenging financial climate. The Health & Care Social Act (2012) is bringing about significant structural changes to the NHS in England with NHS Scotland, NHS Wales and Northern Ireland s Health & Social Care having already made substantial changes to the way they deliver services. The Republic of Ireland s Health Service Executive is also working to achieve substantial savings and efficiencies. Norland is a transparent, open book company which works to clear targets using compliant processes. If you are an NHS procurement team we make it easy for you to access the value for money we are providing. We bring peace of mind by making it possible for our clients to focus on the care of their patients, residents, visitors and staff whilst we work hard to provide a secure, compliant, clean and well maintained environment. Our Patient Experience Training, Business Systems software and Quality, Health and Safety systems ensure a streamlined, legislatively-compliant and dependable service bespoke to the Healthcare sector. A preferred partner on a number of NHS framework agreements, we re well suited to be the partner of choice for the NHS. 360 care for patients & visitors Acute, primary or community healthcare settings are tightly bound by regulation and face considerable public scrutiny. We reflect this in our ways of working. Patients, and their visitors, are central to all we do. Whether we are conducting planned maintenance to the lifts, repairing emergency lighting or washing the walls as part of an infection control regime, our staff are trained to treat patients with dignity and respect. We are experts in managing clinical environments which must be available and operational whenever required.

Some of the healthcare clients supported by Norland Norland provides specialist services to critical environments. Its Critical Engineering Risk Management (CERM ) approach is a suite of robust and tested tools which reduce operational risk by up to 80%.
Patient well-being As any patient knows, well run hospitals in good condition are more likely to give a sense of well being at this critical time. More than that but they are nicer places to visit and work. Our robust working practices adhere to the guidance set out in the Health Building Note publications (HBN) and Health Technical Memoranda (HTM). We start by getting the basics right by improving plant room standards and conducting QHSE risk profiles during mobilisation. Norland always keep decision-making as close to the customer as possible. Decisions are made on-site by empowered staff and it s in our DNA to be accessible, approachable and accountable. When it comes to building fabric maintenance the traditional approach has always been to look at components like walls and ceilings individually. At Norland we think more proactively. We ll group together different areas of the clinical setting into domains and create a planned maintenance schedule for each one. It s a lot less reactive which means there are a lot less call-outs and it means we re able to prioritise those areas most likely to impact the patient experience. Norland is a member of the Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management, an International Professional Engineering Institute and specialist Institute for the Healthcare Estates Sector. Patient Safety We work to the Seven Steps to Patient Safety process. This means we embed, communicate and operate a safety culture. We actively participate in Patient Environment Action Teams (PEAT) in ensuring high standards in the non-clinical aspects of patient care. We build a safety culture by leading and supporting our staff to recognise and manage risk as well as report, communicate, learn and share.
