Healthcare Security in Dublin & Ireland

Security for Healthcare Facilities

People arrive at healthcare settings worried, in pain or confused, and staff too often meet verbal abuse and sometimes violence. An officer in a clinic, primary care centre or care home is there first of all to make staff and patients feel safe: to be present at reception and in waiting areas, to notice tension building and to calm a situation with words long before it becomes physical.

Access is the second concern. Members of the public should be able to reach reception but not treatment rooms, staff areas, records or medicine stores. Officers manage visitors, check that restricted doors stay closed and patrol the building and car park, particularly in the evening when few staff are on duty.

For premises that close at night, we provide lock-up visits, key holding and alarm response, and CCTV for entrances, car parks and other shared areas, positioned with care for patient privacy.
