CREATING DEMENTIA FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTS THE PROBLEM “We use KwickScreens as reminiscence backdrops for patients with dementia. The power of the image creates the memory of an environment that they are used to”. Stephen Moore, Activities Coordinator Order of St Johns Care Trust, Westbury Court Gloucestershire Examples of reminiscence images from our image catalogue Medical environments such as hospitals and care homes can be stressful and disorientating for patients with Dementia. Not just because they are unfamiliar, but because often, everything looks the same. KwickScreens have printable...

The transparent design for the screens we chose ensures that patients can be observed, and not feel isolated from the rest of the ward or other people during their time on the ward”. Vicky Longstaff, Infection Control Lead, Homerton University Hospital THE PROBLEM Within the NHS lack of side rooms is a contributing factor to infection transmission. Many expensive and inappropriate methods such as bed blocking, barrier nursing or delaying discharge from wards are currently used to tackle this. The majority of patients however only require a physical barrier between bed-spaces rather than a...

MIXED SEX ACCOMMODATION ACROSS THE NHS “Patients and staff always comment on our KwickScreen. It makes dividing male and female patients hassle free, and it has also transformed our ward into a much brighter place”. Kelly Zakariya, Senior Sister, Wexham Park Hospital. Across the NHS, breaches of Mixed Sex Accommodation cost individual Trusts thousands of pounds in fines every month. The existing solutions such as ward relocations and building work are costly, and take time. KwickScreens are a quick, cost effective and flexible solution, that allow trusts to avoid expensive fines. A...

"We use KwickScreens to create a clear boundary for parents and to define each bed space. They are very good for infection control, when we have infected babies we section off the whole bottom area of the unit with two of the screens to create an isolation bay. Our screens are opaque so they are really good for the privacy of breast-feeding mums and privacy of parents when withdrawing care”. Claire Finnigan, Lead Nurse, Neonatal LUnit, Birmingham Heartlands hospital. THE PROBLEM Often Neonatal units are open plan, but patients and staff regularly want private areas for breastfeeding,...

CREATING HIGH FIDELITY MEDICAL SIMULATION “With our simulations, we need to get the details right. That’s why we rely on KwickScreens. It provides the visual aids needed to bring the simulation to life”. Paul Wheeler, Senior Lecturer of Perioperative Practice at Bucks New University Bucks University Perioperative Practice Simbulance at Imperial College London Centre for Engagement and Simulation Science THE PROBLEM Creating realistic medical simulation training spaces is hugely beneficial however can be very costly and difficult to accomplish. THE SOLUTION The printable inner panels of...

CREATING EASY USE FOR CEILING LIFTS & HOISTS “With KwickScreens, it’s so much easier to maneuver the hoist on its track from patient to patient, and to maintain privacy and dignity. Laura Compton, Unit Manager, The Neuromuscular Complex Care Centre, UCLH London Curtains used in multi-bed wards equipped with ceiling lifts/hoists often have to be moved or repositioned when the lift is in use. This means the privacy of patients can be compromised. At the Neuromuscular Complex Care Centre, UCLH London, eight fixed-to-wall KwickScreens have been installed. These simple to fit KwickScreens are...

SPORTS CLUBS GYMS & EVENTS “One issue we faced at our gym was there wasn’t a sectioned off area for classes. KwickScreen completely solved both the privacy and partitioning issue, with the sleekness we were looking for.” Anthony Adholla, General Manager at the Gym Group Open plan sports facilities often lack private areas for classes, or portable practical means for injured athletes. KwickScreens can be printed with branding and sponsors creating pop-up partitioned areas with flexibility. At Wimbledon Club Squash Squared Open KwickScreens were used to shield practice courts from the crowds...

THE PROBLEM Airports often require flexible layouts. In all airports there are large open plan spaces where people are being moved through and information is being displayed. Requirements for security change faster than spaces can be re-designed and as policies for each airline dictate differing solutions which some airports find hard to provide. As in any high throughput venue there is a need for flexible first aid facilities - and with the stresses of travel airports see their fair share of medical incidents. THE SOLUTION KwickScreens can solve these problems, like at Geneva Airport where...
