David Bailey Furniture Systems comes to Holby City’s rescue

David Bailey Furniture Systems has supplied a nurse station and fitted healthcare furniture for the set of the well-known BBC One medical drama television series, Holby City.

Holby City, the spin-off of Casualty, which was first aired in 1999, is filmed at ‘Holby City Hospital’, which is part of the BBC’s Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.

The BBC initially got in contact through David Bailey Furniture Systems’ website by requesting a brochure in January this year. Recognising the quality of the company’s hospital furniture, the BBC quickly placed an order and the next month the furniture was designed, manufactured and delivered for the new set.

David Bailey Furniture Systems supplied a bespoke nurses’ station and mobile drawer and base units, on castors.

The nurse station was also supplied on castors and in three sections, so that the counter could be moved around the set and in different orientations.

Trevor Gillman, Managing Director of David Bailey Furniture Systems, who project-managed the furniture design and production, said: “We’re no strangers to working with television crews, having previously supplied furniture for the set of ITV’s medical series Monroe.

“We really enjoyed working with the BBC and we can’t wait to see our hospital furniture on Holby City!”

Most hospital environments are designed, reviewed and photographed during the day, when departments are fully staffed, natural light floods through windows, support services are readily available and visitors are moving throughout the building. It is an environment that reflects how hospitals are intended to operate, but healthcare never stops. It therefore raises an interesting question - if hospitals operate around the clock, why do we often design their environments around daytime conditions, writes Katie Thompson, business development manager at David Bailey Furniture Systems?
