Bradford District Care NHS – Doorset Testing

The Power of Art in Mental Health Spaces

TESTING FOR ROBUSTNESS AND SAFETY

Bradford NHS approached us with an interest in our full-door ligature alarm which can be built into our anti-barricade doorsets, but expressed concerns about the robustness of our pivot system.

We’re committed to working with our customers to ensure they have the right products for their projects – and we’re also the first ones to graciously take our hat out of the ring if we don’t feel we’re the right fit. But we knew this wasn’t the case.

Bradford NHS had previously implemented an estate-wide ban on pivots following a negative experience with an alternative pivot system. But, as the only provider of full-door ligature detection, we were keen to work together to alleviate their concerns and provide confidence in our lifesaving solution.

Following the open and transparent testing workshop seen below, we spoke to Bradford about their initial concerns and if these had been addressed. They told us that they were ‘very impressed’ that the pivots remained strongly in place after such high levels of impact and pressure were applied and are now implementing an estate-wide rollout.
