Healthy Security for 2020 Vision

The annual Healthcare Estates Conference and Exhibition organized by the Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM), is being held in Manchester on the 5th and 6th October 2010.

Clean, Lean, Safe and Green is the theme for this year’s event.

Peter Houlis managing Director of 2020 Vision Systems Limited has been invited to give a presentation on security.

Hospitals present a demanding systems environment in terms of security.

·Valuable facilities and equipment
·Volatile situations involving the safety and lives of people.
·A diverse array of spaces, buildings and departments
·A variety of people; staff, patients, visitors, suppliers and sadly those with mall intent, all need to be controlled and secured.

A long tradition of open friendly access 24/7, with many entrances and exists and an ease of movement around the buildings and premises. Means they are faced daily with a vast variety of threats and dangers, everything from violence towards staff and patients, theft of vital equipment and drugs to crimes of opportunity and even abduction of babies.

The presentation titled Visibly efficient...the future of integrated CCTV - The need for change examines the use of new CCTV technology and the convergence of related security systems and devices to address the security risks and promote situational awareness in the Hospital environment during a time of austerity.

The annual conference is the opportunity for those representing or involved in healthcare engineering and estate management to gain and develop the skills, knowledge and techniques needed to address issues that really matter to patients, the public and us as professionals.
