Abloy UK Improves Medicine Management at the London Ambulance Service Abloy UK has provided the London Ambulance Service with its PROTEC2 CLIQ access management system to improve medicine management, meet compliance regulations, and offer effective oversight of access for auditability. The London Ambulance Service is the only NHS trust to serve the whole of London and the nine million people who live, work, or visit the city. They answer more than two million 999 calls and more than two million 111 calls a year and treat 3000 people at the scene or over the phone every day, covering an area of 620 square miles, with over 9,600 staff and volunteers. Well governed management of access to controlled drugs is essential, especially with the urgent nature of the care they provide, and the magnitude of the estate. The trust required a flexible and easy to use access control system, with multiple access and skill levels across multiple locations. Gavin Mooney, Advanced Paramedic Practitioner and Trust Medication Safety Officer at the London Ambulance Service, explains: “Our previous access control system wasn’t meeting our needs, as we had insufficient oversight of who had access to particular lockers or codes for the keys. “We had to find a way in which paramedics could get access to drugs over a large geographical area, but we also needed to ensure the system was compliant, with auditability for security purposes.” Abloy UK suggested its PROTEC2 CLIQ system - a key-based access management solution with multiple management options, and security for many access points via a wide range of wireless locks. With PROTEC2 CLIQ, each member of staff is issued with an individual key, which can be activated via a wall or computer Zoo Hardware Launches New ZDC0024S Series Door Closer Zoo Hardware has further added to its growing range of door closing devices, with the addition of the ZDC0024S Series template adjustable 2-4 overhead door closer.
