Hamilton Specialist Referrals is a purpose-built state-of-the-art veterinary hospital caring for small animals. The clinic, based in Buckinghamshire, boasts the latest in cutting-edge, specialist treatments across four theatre rooms, including an MRI and CT scanner. Hamilton Specialist Referrals brought in SFE Services to maintain its air conditioning systems across its pair of buildings, including the operating theatres and office space.
When Hamilton Specialist Referrals was built, it was tailored to the needs of the multidisciplinary hospital with a requirement to have customer waiting areas, a pharmacy and back-of-house rooms. Air quality is critical for Hamilton Specialist Referrals. A regulated temperature ensures patients and owners are comfortable and relaxed throughout their visit.
To ensure the best clinical environment, the hospital must maintain a high level of cleanliness and air quality. There are areas of the building where temperature control is paramount, including the laboratory and pharmacy which demand that the temperature stays at a precise level. So, regular servicing and maintenance is essential. The ventilation system also helps with bad odours which are common in a setting with unwell patients.
Temperature control and ventilation also make a difference to not only the patients and owners but also the staff. Investing in the comfort and health of employees leads to better performance, increased happiness and heightened job satisfaction. This is particularly important in high-stress environments where maintaining an optimal ambient temperature is key to improving mood and overall wellness.
Speaking of appointing SFE Services for the maintenance contract, Mary Galea, Facilities and Operations Assistant at Hamilton Specialist Referrals said: “We wanted a local company who were able to cope with and understand the scale of our air conditioning systems, which are crucial in a referral hospital setting.
“We deal with so many suppliers day-to-day and SFE Services are always quick to respond. They have been super helpful with all our questions no matter how busy they are. All the members of the team I have spoken to have been friendly and a pleasure to have onsite.”
