Background & Objectives

Southend University Hospital required a structured and efficient approach to maintaining high hygiene standards through a scheduled curtain change service. As part of their infection prevention and control (IPC) strategy, the hospital engaged Grosvenor Contracts to manage and execute a comprehensive curtain replacement program.

This project marks the first of five scheduled curtain changes, ensuring that all patient areas consistently meet stringent hygiene and safety requirements.

Our Approach

To deliver a seamless and efficient service, Grosvenor Contracts completed the following key tasks:

✔ Replaced 450 curtains within 3 days, minimising disruption to hospital operations.

✔ Lubricated all curtain tracks where new curtains were installed, ensuring smooth functionality.

✔ Conducted full IPC & Health & Safety (H&S) compliance checks in all serviced areas.

✔ Provided detailed inventory records for each location, ensuring full traceability and future planning.

Outcome & Client Satisfaction

The first phase of the scheduled curtain change service was successfully completed on time and in full compliance with healthcare hygiene regulations. Southend University Hospital now benefits from fresh, fully compliant curtains, improved track functionality, and an organised inventory system to support ongoing maintenance.

The hospital praised Grosvenor Contracts' efficiency, attention to detail, and commitment to IPC standards, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in hospital hygiene management.
