Derwent fm is proud that it is working with St Hugh’s Hospital as the reliable provider of facilities management services
St Hugh’s Hospital is a registered charity and ‘not for profit’ provider offering holistic levels of care. In 2012, the hospital was searching for a dependable supplier to provide mechanical and electrical maintenance to the hospital.
The Challenges
As a healthcare provider, reputation and customer satisfaction levels are vital to ensuring customer peace of mind. Consequently, the hospital facilities must remain:
- Open to patients during planned business hours – any disruption caused by mechanical or electrical fault can result in patient cancellations and a loss of reputation.
- Safe to the public – ensuring that all compliance and health and safety checks/maintenance are up to date.
- Cost effective – as a not for profit organisation who support the NHS, the maintenance of hospital facilities should at all times be an effective use of funds.
How we helped
Reliability, dependability and peace of mind
Our proactive contract management capability means that St Hugh’s Hospital can contact us 24/7 should they encounter any issues. This function has proved invaluable to St Hugh’s as they have experienced multiple out of hours issues that, had they not been resolved, may have resulted in the hospital being unable to open to receive patients. However, we are quick to respond at all hours, ensuring that engineers are on-site and that any issues are resolved quickly. This ensures that business can continue as normal and that no disruption is incurred. As a result of Derwent fm’s proactive response to incidents, Gary Allington, the Facilities Manager at St Hugh’s, states that ‘the peace of mind that Derwent fm provide is invaluable’.
