Transport Management and Car-parking

Environment and Sustainability

By: Department of Health: Estates and Facilities Division

The aim of this guidance is to identify best practice in developing travel plans and providing adequate car-parking for NHS trust in England. (Travel plans are measures to manage travel to and from a site, and to reduce reliance on the car as a means of getting to work.) The guidance also assesses the Department for Transport's travel plan evaluation tool against NHS trust travel plans; provides a matrix to estimate a base level of car-parking provision (on the accompanying CD-ROM); identifies links to other assessment tools; suggests how to collect and monitor data; identifies successful partnership working, what encourages and motivates trusts, staff and the public; considers environmentally-friendly transport options. The key elements of best practice are: financial incentives or disincentives; car-parking constraints and management; a range of alternative modes of transport; strong management support; progressive incremental implementation over time; clear objectives; close partnership with local authorities and public transport operators; dedicated staff responsible for travel plans; and, very significantly, designation of a travel plan manager or champion.

Safe management of healthcare waste

environment and sustainability

By: Great Britain: Department of Health: Estates and Facilities Division

This publication provides a framework of best practice guidance on the management of healthcare waste to help healthcare organisations and other producers meet legislative requirements. It replaces the Health Services Advisory Committee guidance document 'Safe disposal of clinical waste' (1999). The guidance has been revised and updated to take account of legislative changes governing waste management, storage, carriage, treatment and disposal, health and safety. Key recommendations include: adopting a new methodology for identifying and classifying infectious and medicinal waste called the 'unified approach'; a revised colour-coded best practice waste segregation and packaging system to promote standardisation across the UK; the use of European Waste Catalogue (EWC) codes for waste documentation; and an offensive/hygiene waste stream to describe non-infectious waste (human hygiene waste and sanitary protection waste such as nappies, incontinence pads etc.).

Facilities for Cancer Services

By: Department of Health: Estates and Facilities Division

This document gives best practice advice on the design and layout of cancer facilities within acute hospitals, primarily chemotherapy and radiotherapy facilities. Although it is aimed at new builds, the recommendations should be applied, where possible, when existing facilities are being upgraded. It describes a chemotherapy unit for the delivery of intravenous and intrathecal chemotherapy, and a radiotherapy unit for the delivery of external beam radiotherapy (teletherapy), as well as facilities for undertaking unsealed source radiotherapy and sealed source radiotherapy (brachytherapy). It also describes a dedicated out-patients unit (OPU) for cancer patients, although it is acknowledged that some trusts will use a shared out-patients facility. Reference is made to facilities that are not used exclusively by people with cancer but have a particular relevance.

Celebrating Achievement

Enhancing the Healing Environment Programme 2003-2005

This document describes the achievements of 23 projects in the King's Fund Enhancing the Healing Environment Programme. It includes case studies of nine of the projects and a summary of an evaluation that was commissioned to assess the improvements to the environment, the benefits to patients and staff, and value for money. This evaluation applied a recognised methodology to the case studies, and substantial environmental improvements have been measured in all of the schemes studied. There is already evidence of high user satisfaction, as well as a reduction in stress, increased use of the project areas, changes in working practices, and the therapeutic benefit that can be derived from environments that are designed by patients and staff to be fit for a purpose.
