Equipment & Technology
Employing a strategy led approach to optimising equipment and technology use
Tools for the job
Using knowledge gathered from our research and development programme, we can advise on how horizon technologies may impact the provision of care.
From capturing the opportunities of digitisation to using technology to maximise efficiency, we develop strategies that enable healthcare facilities to be flexible enough to stay at the cutting-edge throughout their lifespan.
Equipment & Technology
01
Equipment and technology strategies
Our approach to equipment and technology starts with strategic planning at the very earliest stages of the healthcare facility development process.
The strategies we develop are informed by our continual research into technology futures, with the aim of enabling clients to fully harness the potential of equipment to improve clinical care and patient experience.
02
Equipment planning
Our room-by-room equipment schedules support clinical best practice and incorporate the most advanced medical technologies.
We detail the design impact and requirements for the equipment, including MEP and structural, as well as provide radiation, laser, and MR protection advice.
03
Equipment cost modelling
Our complex database systems give us the ability to provide commercial stakeholders with equipment cost models that report against a multitude of parameters.
These accurately capture the complex changes in the equipment content during the design development process, informing affordability considerations and analysing the effects of decisions made.
04
Specification development
We develop detailed equipment output specifications that are generic in nature, facilitating maximum market participation during the procurement process.
Our specifications link directly to the requirements and aspirations captured in the equipment and technology strategy.
05
Procurement management
We manage the entire procurement process, from strategy development, tendering and evaluation, to final commercial negotiation.
Our in-depth knowledge of the medical equipment market, and the tools and processes we have developed, mean we consistently achieve best value-for-money outcomes.
06
Installation and commissioning management
An intrinsic part of our service at the most pressured phase of a project, we employ standardised and proven project control techniques to coordinate and oversee the installation and commissioning of equipment, including existing asset transfers, ready for handover to clients.
