title: Protecting patients, staff, and property.
abstract: With the safety and security of all hospital users paramount, the need to safeguard valuable equipment against theft, and NHS security breaches on the rise, can estates and facilities managers afford to compromise when it comes to security in healthcare facilities? Tina Hughan, marketing director at one of the world's leading door opening, locking, security, and access control product specialists, Assa Abloy, discusses how both accessibility and whole-life costing must be taken into consideration when implementing security measures to ensure the highest level of patient safety and quality of care.
