Healthcare & Medical - Care & Nursing Homes
Whether managing hospitals, care and nursing homes, GP surgeries, or dental practices, you’re the guardian of water safety. From patient rooms to specialist medical equipment, proactive Legionella control ensures compliance, prevents outbreaks, protects vulnerable individuals, supports infection control, and upholds your facility’s reputation.
Healthcare & Medical - GP Surgeries
From local health centres to multi-disciplinary medical hubs, proactive Legionella management protects patients, staff, and visitors. Through expert risk assessment, you maintain compliance, reduce infection risks, and strengthen your CQC readiness.
Why Healthcare & Medical Facilities Need Legionella Risk Assessments
Healthcare and medical environments carry higher risk due to vulnerable occupants and complex water systems. Regular Legionella risk assessments are essential for infection prevention, patient safety, and compliance with HSG274, ACoP L8, and HTM 04-01 guidance.
Common Risk Factors Include:
Balancing water temperatures for Legionella control and scalding risks. TMV's have additional risks
Inconsistency in usage of the system can lead to stagnation during low usage times
Aging / Complex / Modified infrastructure with dead legs, specialist equipment with high water usage
Vulnerable resident populations. Presence of high-risk individuals, public-facing facilities or high occupancy
Considerable risk of water droplet aerosol inhalation during standard working practices
"Legionella control obligations vary according to the nature of your business, the complexities of your buildings, and their water systems. Getting this wrong could waste valuable time and resources or potentially damage your business reputation."
Healthcare & Medical Building Complexities
Healthcare & Medical Buildings require specific risk assessment needs depending on the requirements of the patients:
Building Complexity Considerations:
- Centralised vs. individual water systems
- Mixed-age plumbing and legacy infrastructure
- Variable occupancy and stagnation risks
- Peak demand vs. low-use periods
- High-risk equipment (hydrotherapy, dental waterlines, cooling towers)
- Vulnerable user groups (elderly, immunocompromised, children)
- Shared vs. private water facilities
- Compliance with HSG274, ACoP L8, and sector-specific regulations
- Staff training and awareness
- Maintenance challenges and budget constraints
- Secure access and operational efficiency balancing
- Multi-tenanted properties and responsibility allocation
