Project Overview

Project Name: UCLH NHNN Queen Mary Wing – Anti-Ligature Cubicle Tracks
Location: Queen Mary Wing, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG
Client: Rosewood Restorations
Supplier: Yewdale
Scope of Work: Supply and installation of anti-ligature cubicle tracks

Project Objectives

The UCLH NHNN Queen Mary Wing required a specialist anti-ligature cubicle track solution to enhance patient safety and functionality within its bed bays and clinical areas.

The presence of an overhead hoist system made this installation unique, requiring a tailored approach to ensure seamless integration while maintaining safety and accessibility.

Our Approach

Grosvenor Contracts worked closely with the client to design and implement a custom anti-ligature track system that accommodated the hoist system without compromising safety or usability.

The project involved:

✔ Supply and installation of anti-ligature cubicle tracks designed to detach safely under excessive load, reducing ligature risks in patient areas.

✔ Modifications to the installation approach to ensure compatibility with the existing hoist system in bed bays, maintaining full functionality for patient mobility.

✔ Precise installation with minimal disruption to hospital operations, ensuring a smooth transition to the new system.

Outcome & Client Benefits

The successful installation of the anti-ligature cubicle tracks at UCLH NHNN Queen Mary Wing provides a safer and more functional environment for both patients and staff. By carefully adapting the installation to accommodate the hoist system, Grosvenor Contracts ensured that patient care and mobility support remained unaffected.

This project highlights Grosvenor Contracts' expertise in complex healthcare environments, delivering tailored anti-ligature solutions that meet both safety and operational requirements.
