Multi-Bed Bay
Multi-bed bays
Whilst a higher percentage of single in-patient rooms is encouraged, open bay areas may feature in hospital ward designs.
Our multi-bed bays take many of the principles from single in-patient room design, allowing for maximum observation for nursing staff and privacy for patients. The designs allow for patients to be cohorted where necessary.
The multi-bed bay design allows patients to make a private space by drawing the curtain for dressing or consulting with their doctor. Patients may also receive visitors during their stay, so adequate space within each bay should be allocated for extra seating and people moving around without interrupting others.
Medicines for use by the patient are stored securely in a personal locker along with any personal belongings and clothing, while patient records can be easily accessible to clinical staff when examining patients
Social spaces
Social space should be close by to allow patients to leave their beds and interact with nurses, visitors, and other patients throughout their stay. The space has a working supply of linen, amenities and consumables which are stored in their own dedicated space.
