Helping Hospitals, Healthcare Providers and FM companies provide the best and safest patient care

According to Health Estate Journal, one million people are treated by the NHS every 36 hours. Most of the time, patients will receive fantastic care free of charge, much to the envy of those with insurance-based systems. And though power supply may be a small part of the healthcare system, it plays a vital role in maintaining high standards of care. Critical equipment such as incubators, kidney dialysis, respiratory and operating theatre equipment need constant electrical supply, while wards and hallways need to be lit day and night to give patients and staff safe access to all parts of the healthcare facility. Due to the potentially fatal outcome that could come with loss of power, hospitals are required under Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 06-01 to plan for and mitigate the risks of interruption to power supply. And that’s where Dale Power Solutions comes in. Currently providing critical power products and maintenance to over 800 healthcare buildings across the UK, we have the technical expertise and industry knowledge to ensure you comply with (HTM) 06-01 and can provide your patients with the best possible care.

The Health of The Healthcare Sector & Increasing Demand

Power issues can happen anywhere, anytime, in any electrical system, regardless of the design standards used. Due to the risks involved in healthcare, it can be tempting to build the highest possible resilience across an entire healthcare estate to remove risks to patient safety or business continuity due to power loss. However, real-world budgetary and space restrictions make this approach unrealistic. Consider the pressure being felt by NHS staff due to the Covid-19 crisis. While risking their own safety and working in demanding conditions they also have the constant worry of being overwhelmed if admission rates increase excessively. Therefore, when developing or reviewing policies to support critical life-supporting equipment, as well as other less critical, yet still important electrical equipment, healthcare estate managers should refer to the guidance provided by the Department of Health’s Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 06-01: ‘Electrical Services supply and distribution’ document. It details how to design power solutions that carefully balance each area’s critical resiliency needs against costs.

Here at Dale Power Solutions, we can advise health estate managers on how to meet the guidelines, and financially achieve the levels of resilience needed for both critical and less critical areas of your healthcare facility. This includes choosing the right UPSs in terms of their redundancy levels, capacity and battery autonomy, and providing guidance on how to integrate them into existing power structures and include generators if required. We can also put a plan in place to ensure ongoing support in this currently challenging and uncertain environment, so that healthcare services and healthcare providers can operate both efficiently and effectively.

Our Healthcare Generators

You know that if your hospital or healthcare facility suffered a power outage for even just a few minutes, then your patients could pay the ultimate price. Hospitals and emergency units need generator sets that are precise and faultless, not to mention an emergency supply that ensures continuous power in the event of a grid failure. If a power cut occurs, your generators need to provide every guarantee that they will be able to start up in a time that is so short that it barely affects whatever is happening in surgeries, bench testing, laboratories or on the hospital wards.

We supply and install Himoinsa’s fantastic range of generator sets which guarantee a 100% load response time in just 10 seconds. This means that they can supply all the power required within that length of time, and that they will be able to respond to the security requirements that any hospital has as far as its normal operation is concerned.

For Dale Power Solutions and Himoinsa, patient safety and well-being is by far the most important factor when it comes to recommending generators for the health sector. Given the sensitive nature of hospitals, we admire Himoinsa’s continual research into generator soundproofing requirements, and how they work with us to ensure minimum noise emissions for each and every health facility in which they will be installed.

The Generators We Recommend For The Health Sector Include:

We can meet the generator needs of clients from a range of healthcare facilities, including hospitals, care homes, nursing homes, dialysis centres and hospice homes, as well as radiology centers and rehabilitation centres. With fuel-efficient design and dependable power whenever you need it, our healthcare generators and hospital generators can reduce health risks and provide total electricity generation if required.

Our Healthcare UPS

In the event of loss of mains power, our UPS systems ensure a seamless transition from mains supply to back-up generator. Medical services such as operating theatres and ICUs will be unaffected, as will important equipment such as dialysis machines, oxygen concentrators and artificial ventilators. Furthermore, in care homes and hospices, stairlifts, bath hoists and adjustable beds will still be accessible, and across the health sector, staff can continue to access secure patient records, fundamental to patient care and safety.

As part of the Department of Health’s Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 06-01: ‘Electrical Services supply and distribution’ document, it claims that the intensive care units coming under pressure today are classified as ‘Risk grade A – the highest -covering life support, operating theatre suites, catheterising rooms, accident & emergency resuscitation units, MRI and other locations’. It goes onto state that, ‘Where supply disconnection represents a threat to life, an alternative source such as a UPS must be available within 0.5s or as a no-break supply if critical medical electrical (ME) equipment will not continue to function without a reset after a 0.5s break’. At Dale Power Solutions, we can provide you with healthcare UPSs that ensure your power supplies are continuously running and that all of your critical maintenance occurs through just one partner – streamlining your operations further.

Critical power for one of Britain’s largest high security psychiatric hospitals is fundamental to the safety of patients, staff and the public. The site has 8 generators, and any compromise to safety as a consequence of a power failure, would be disastrous.

During a scheduled service visit a Dale engineer discovered remedial work (core plug change) was required on the E800 Series UPS which provides back up power to a psychiatric hospital in the West Midlands.

A county hospital needed to relocate their UPS system which was supporting this essential hospital unit which provides neonatal care for babies but was not ideally located in a plant room which also housed water pipes.

Fire & Rescue Services

No break in back-up power to Fire and Rescue Services Control Room as new modular UPS is installed, supporting their current power requirements and also future proofing the business for increases in load and autonomy.

Police Services

An urgent request to provide reliable critical power to a police station. Their original UPS was failing rapidly and becoming unreliable. Replacement modules were obsolete and the station had additional load requirements.
