Norfolk Trust unveils cleaning initiative

A new mobile unit to disinfect hospital equipment has been unveiled at the Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust in Norwich.

The idea invented by two members of the Trust’s staff – John Downes, a member of the estates team and Val Leggett, a nurse consultant in infection control – was developed with support from Health Enterprise East (HEE), the region’s NHS innovation hub.

The mobile equipment cleansing unit is the first of its kind in the country and enables equipment, including beds, to be wheeled into the unit, disinfected and thoroughly steam cleaned. Its mobility is particularly beneficial for multi-site Trusts and means that noisy steam cleaning tasks can be performed away from the ward, preventing disruption to patients and their environment.
