Bassetlaw Hospital

The Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) and Minor Injuries services at Bassetlaw Hospital needed locally sourced UK floors and walls to deliver durable safety and hygiene with style. Issue The newly developed Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) and Minor Injuries services at Bassetlaw Hospital are designed to provide rapid assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for patients with urgent conditions, allowing them to return home the same day and avoid overnight hospital admissions. The project required floors and walls that would be durable and reliable for this busy, high-footfall area, while also providing a homely and comfortable environment for patients and staff. Product availability was an important consideration to avoid delays on this time-sensitive project. Approach A proven package of UK-sourced Altro floors and walls was recommended to ensure timescales were met without compromising performance, hygiene or aesthetics. Solution P+HS Architects chose popular Altro safety floors: the contemporary Altro Illustra used in the main circulation spaces, Altro Wood to bring softness to the waiting areas and nurses’ station, and specialist Altro Pisces to bring a modern, homely feel to the wet areas and toilets. Altro Whiterock Satins hygienic wall cladding and the bespoke Altro Whiterock Digiclad (Custom) also feature in treatment rooms and waiting areas. The installer, A Cumberlidge Ltd, worked out of hours where needed to minimise disruption and deliver a faultless finish. Product Information Altro Illustra is available in a range of contemporary and flexible designs, this stylish, functional and design-led safety flooring has enhanced sustained slip resistance. Altro Wood is a general purpose 2mm wood-effect vinyl safety floor available in a range of designs with different plank sizes and shades. Altro Whiterock Digiclad (Custom) is a custom print option utilising UV-cured inks onto an Altro Whiterock sheet from a design or photographic image. Altro Pisces is a domestic-look specialist floor for a “home from home”, warm feel in wet rooms and bathrooms. Altro Whiterock Satins is a colourful, tonal satin-finish wall sheet with all the hygiene and durability of Altro Whiterock.
