Straightforward ventilation hire becomes dual-purpose healthcare solution

During a period of unprecedented winter pressure, a regional healthcare trust faced a critical challenge across their hospitals. With wards becoming overcrowded and a spike in respiratory infections creating a high-risk environment, they needed an immediate defense against viruses spreading in their busy wards and waiting rooms. The goal was to combat stagnant air and urgently achieve a safety standard of 6–8 air changes per hour (ACH) to dilute pathogens and protect patients. Recognizing the need for emergency healthcare ventilation hire, they reached out to Andrews Sykes for a solution.

We rapidly deployed a high-performance ventilation and filtration package. This ensured patient safety and operational continuity when the hospital needed it most. We provided a tailored, hybrid setup. It combined high-capacity fans with industrial-grade HEPA air purifiers. This created a comprehensive specialist ventilation unit hire UK solution. The dual strategy actively introduced fresh air. At the same time, it scrubbed internal air of particulates and pathogens.

The equipment proved its value almost immediately. Shortly after installation, a surge in viral cases meant the hospital needed to adapt fast. Fortunately, the flexibility of our units allowed this temporary clinical ventilation system hire to pivot instantly. The Trust was able to extract more air than was being supplied, creating “negative pressure” zones. This effectively stopped the virus from escaping into corridors and protected other patients and staff, serving as a highly effective dual-purpose ventilation solution for hospitals.

We later received a comment directly from the customer stating that this rapid response played a critical role in maintaining patient safety. Whether dealing with overcrowding or infection control, Andrews Sykes ensures you have the support you need when it matters most.
