Static Systems Group has created plans for a ‘ground-breaking’ Design and Innovation Centre (D&IC) at its headquarters near Wolverhampton, with the centrepiece a full-size replica four-bed bay based on one of the ProCure 21+ Repeatable Ward designs.
Currently under construction, it will, the company says, be ‘the first of its kind in the UK’.
‘Inspired by the acclaimed success’ of an existing four-bed ward at Wombourne widely used for training and education for over 10 years, Static Systems says it saw an opportunity to showcase one of the new acute wards developed by health planners, architects, design managers, cost consultants, and specialist suppliers, as part of the ProCure 21+ ‘cost reduction through standardisation’ programme.
Marketing director, Phil Wade, said: “Our new ward will be available as a convenient drop-in facility. Our previous four-bed bay here has been universally praised as a vital ingredient in helping our clients design, and choose the most suitable bedhead services solutions for, their projects.”
A number of specialist suppliers contributed by providing materials and services for the ward. “It was clear that there was no central funding available for such a mock-up facility, so we thought we would take the initiative,” added Phil Wade.
