COLLABORATION IS KEY FOR HEALTHCARE LEADERS
Based in a rural woodland corner of North Yorkshire, GBUK Healthcare is one of the UK’s leading medical device manufacturers, providing innovative products for hospital, community, homecare and commercial customers.
More than 70,000 GBUK products are used on a daily basis in every NHS Trust in the UK, including suction catheters, wound and chest drainage solutions, oxygen therapy equipment, women’s health products and enteral feeding devices.
To improve and update internal and external communications and reflect its high tech modern identity, the company looked for a specialist integrator to design and install a state-of-the-art audio visual facility – and found the solution right on their doorstep.
The head office of technology specialist Saville Audio Visual is only ten miles away in York. The company is probably the UK’s most experienced AV/IT systems integrator and it was they who won the contract to create a tailor-made conferencing and presentation facility for GBUK.
Saville regional technical manager, Steve Gore-Browne said: “It was a pleasure to provide the technology and furniture which such an attractive and versatile room deserves. We recommended a custom-built boardroom table assembly and an intuitive iPad-based control system plus very latest in wireless collaboration technology. This enables people to display their own computer content on one of the large format HD screens at the touch of a button.”
The versatile dual table solution comprises two matching 12-seat tables with a linking inlay section and recessed power, network and PC connection points. This enables the space to be partitioned and used as two separate areas, with a fourth 65” LED screen available on a mobile trolley stand. The big LED screens cope easily with the natural light, supported by a virtually invisible Soundfield audio system, which provides outstandingly clear voice reinforcement throughout the room.
A matching lectern cabinet houses the audio amplifier and source equipment, with an interactive touch screen mounted on an adjustable pivot arm. Speaking after the hand-over, David Havercroft, GBUK Finance Manager said: “We couldn’t be more delighted with the solution from Saville. It completely exceeded our expectations!”
