ARK & Healthcare
ARK Alarm response and key holding, Open & Lock service is often used by a lot of our Healthcare customers, We can send mobile patrol officers to attend at agreed times to unlock or lock up your premises. In the morning, our officers can unlock your premises, make a security check and handover to designated staff members.
At night, as well as locking up, our officers can switch off lights, shut down computers/ machinery and set alarms. We can give our officers a complete checklist of all your needs to fulfil any requirements you may have.
ARK’s Manned Guarding is also used in health care, as in recent years there has been an increased rate of pharmacies being targeted by burglars and thieves. Having a security professional present attending on-site in the event of an alarm significantly will reduce the chance of a burglar attempting to gain access to the premise.

Cannon & Healthcare
Cannon Fire Protection is one of the few Ansul
With all the sensitive equipment present in surgery rooms, installing a traditional water-based fire sprinkler system is not the best option: the water from the sprinklers can do as much damage to your equipment as a fire!
It is safest to use a clean agent fire suppression. Instead of using water, FM-200 synthetic gas suppression systems use a gas that absorbs heat until the temperature drops below the flammable range. The gas is highly effective even in small amounts, so oxygen displacement is minimal.
Cannon Fire Protection
With over 30 years experience, Cannon Fire Protection has developed an excellent reputation within the fire protection industry throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.
VRC & Healthcare
VRC also have an impact on the health-care business. However, the use of surveillance in healthcare settings can be problematic because of the need to protect patients’ confidentiality. But there are 5 vital reasons …
- Preventing theft – It prevents staff or visitors from stealing things that are kept in storage.
- Monitor patients – It simplifies check-in system for patients.
- Ambulances – Footage of parking lot, it can track which vehicle has been assigned to whom.
- Employee check-ins – It shows who checked-in or checked-out at the specific time.
- Patient discharge – It detects if any patient gets discharged without the permission of the doctor.
Our CCTV Monitoring service can be used with Visual Verification and Fire & Intruder Monitoring so that the fastest possible response is issued in the event of a fire or an intruder, protecting the patient and staff present.
