Silentia UK

Silentia Screens are hard surface, folding privacy screens designed specifically for the acute hospital environment. - Easy to keep clean - reduce the risk of cross infection - Enhance patient privacy, both acoustic and visual - A hygienic alternative to curtains Our screens come in a wide range of colours and print designs which provide proper, hygienic privacy whilst enhancing the ward environment. Our Ethos - Keep It Clean! More infection control professionals state: 'no more curtains'. But the healthcare industry is often cautious about investing in a patient privacy solution that on the contrary will save them money. While cubicle curtains require ongoing laundry and high handling costs, Silentia's folding screens are a long-term investment, which is recouped in typically 1-3 years. In addition, a considerable larger amount is saved because folding screens are an important factor in preventing expensive bacterial outbreaks. A recent report published by OECD tells us that around 15 percent of hospital care costs in OECD countries arise due to treating safety failures such as healthcare-associated infections (HAI). The costs do not only include repairs, production loss and legal costs, but also the reputational damage and undermining of customer trust. The OECD report emphasizes that cost of preventive work is much lower than the cost of healthcare injuries. This is exactly what Silentia is here for. Our primary goal is to help reduce the suffering for patients by minimizing the number of healthcare injuries. By providing the healthcare industry with a safe, hygienic and easy solution that helps improve patient safety. It all comes down to three words: Keep it Clean! We provide a simple, easy to keep clean solution with a high impact to help eliminate healthcare-associated infections.
