Healthcare

When it comes to providing backup power for healthcare estates, it is also vital that medical UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems, IPS (Isolated power supplies), batteries and switchgear adhere to very specific regulations and operating recommendations.

This is especially important for applications such as operating theatre backup power, operating lights, scanners and fail-safe redundancy. Our commitment to this sector and large amount of experience delivering medical UPS and IPS power solutions means that we have unparalleled knowledge of the operational intricacies and challenges presented by this sector.

Our tertiary power solutions for the healthcare market are compliant with all industry standards:

• HTM 06-01 (Healthcare Safety Memorandum)
• BS 7671
• BS 6290-4
• IEC 60601
• BS EN 50171

Our experience extends far beyond just supporting the IT infrastructure, we protect clinical laboratory equipment, mobile apparatus such as diagnostic equipment, patient monitoring systems, complete operating theatres and emergency rooms, diagnostic devices and digital imaging systems. All of these rely on a continuous power source to avoid malfunctions, system errors and prevention of costly or life threatening downtime.

Industry Accreditation

We are also a part of the NHS SBS Hard Facilities Management Agreement and the NOE CPC (North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative) meaning that Power Control has been assessed in detail to ensure that the services provided meet all legislative requirements and therefore eliminates the need for formal tendering, speeding up the procurement process and saving valuable time and money

Trusted by leading healthcare authorities across the UK, we have completed hundreds of three-phase UPS installations for Siemens Healthcare, carried out several £millions worth of UPS work for other groups supplying UPS solutions over half the operating theatres in the country.
