ELV & ICT Design for UK Hospitals & Healthcare
HTM-compliant ELV, nurse call, CCTV and ICT design for UK NHS Trusts, NHS New Hospital Programme projects and private healthcare facilities — specialist healthcare knowledge, competitive fees.
ELV Design for the NHS New Hospital Programme
The UK Government's NHS New Hospital Programme (NHP) — 40 new hospitals by 2030 — is one of the largest healthcare capital programmes in UK history. Alongside major schemes like the Royal Liverpool Hospital, Whittington Health, Leeds General Infirmary and Sandwell Hospital, existing NHS estates are undergoing major RAAC-concrete remediation and refurbishment programmes. ASDV provides BS 5839-1 fire alarm, nurse call, ICT and security design for NHS healthcare projects — at 40–60% less than UK specialist healthcare M&E consultancies.
Health Technical Memoranda (HTM) Compliance
NHS healthcare facilities are governed by Health Technical Memoranda (HTM) and Health Building Notes (HBN). Key HTMs for ELV and ICT design:
- HTM 05-03 — Fire safety in healthcare premises (fire alarm design)
- HTM 06-01 — Electrical services supply and distribution
- HTM 08-03 — Ventilation for healthcare premises (BMS integration)
- HTM 08-04 — Specialist ventilation for healthcare premises (nurse call tie-in)
- HBN 00-01 — General design principles (room data sheets)
Nurse Call Design for UK Hospitals
Nurse call systems in NHS hospitals must comply with HTM 08-03 and BS EN ISO 11073 (for interoperability). Leading UK nurse call platforms include Wandsworth (Wanscare/Nurse+), Intercall (Systems IP), Aidcall (Tyco) and Courtney Thorne. ASDV produces nurse call layout drawings, device schedules and system architecture diagrams for these platforms, coordinated with ward layouts and fire alarm zones.
NHS CCTV & Access Control
NHS facilities require carefully designed CCTV systems — balancing patient privacy (UK GDPR, NHS Information Governance Framework) with staff and visitor security. ASDV's healthcare CCTV designs include a privacy impact assessment aligned to ICO guidance and NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) requirements.
Sector FAQs
HTM 05-03 (Fire safety in the design of healthcare premises) is the primary guidance. It requires NHS buildings to have a fire alarm system that is generally a Type L1 automatic detection system (full coverage) to BS 5839-1, with a cause-and-effect matrix linked to fire strategy. ASDV produces HTM 05-03-compliant fire alarm designs for NHS projects.
The most common platforms in UK NHS hospitals are Wandsworth Wanscare, Intercall Systems IP, Aidcall and Courtney Thorne. ASDV designs nurse call systems for all of these platforms and can produce system-agnostic specifications where the platform is to be selected by tender.
