Healthcare furniture at Gravesham Community Hospital

Our HTM 63 Healthline range of suspended storage units and worktops is manufactured to a high specification. The suspended style makes them ideal for theatre suites and where a particularly rigid floor-cleaning regime is required. A combination of suspended units, as well as shelving, worktops and drawer units, was specified by award-winning, Steffian Bradley Architects.

The £23.4 million Gravesham Community Project is a joint venture between Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley Primary Care Trusts and Kent County Council Social Services. It lies at the heart of the town and will provide a wide range of health and social care services, including a 6,000 square metre Outpatient and Therapies suite, with diagnostic support facilities over two floors and 5,000 square metres of intermediate care and residential care over three floors including 102 ensuite care beds.

Healthcare furniture by David Bailey

The fitted healthcare furniture we supply is manufactured at our factory in Broadstairs, Kent. We provide specialist, HTM 63 and HTM 71 compliant furniture and storage units, specialising in the healthcare and hospital market. We have installed fitted healthcare furniture to many UK hospitals, health centres, clinics and GP surgeries, including Guys & St. Thomas Hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital, North Middlesex University Hospital and Northwick Park Hospital. Architects and Contractors rely on us because they know we are well established and professional and our durable furniture is manufactured in Britain with craftsmanship and professionalism. We also install our furniture into a facility, so there is no need to ensure a contractor has installation instructions.
