St George’s Hospital in South West London chose WARDRAY PREMISE to supply bespoke shielded workstations for a new resuscitation unit. The unit has been expanded and refurbished as part of the hospital’s development as a major trauma centre.
The new facility provides eight resuscitation bays, each with a large bed space to allow emergency care staff to manage complex cases. The unit also houses a dedicated overhead X-ray system built into the ceiling of the department. The brief for the workstation was to manufacture eight (3.5 metre long x 2 metre high) lead shielded workstations, which also act as privacy screens. The units required 0.5 mmPb lead and the wheels are stabilised by large castor brakes. Despite each workstation weighing half a tonne they are still easy to manoeuvre. The workstations were delivered on time and on budget.
