Dialysis Clinics

With a working relationship spanning over twenty five years, Fresenius Kidney Care and Swanbury Penglase have designed and delivered in excess of thirty dialysis clinics throughout Australasia.

The clinics provide a high level of clinical care whilst recognising that patients spend a substantial amount of time at the clinic on a regular basis; on average 3-4 hours a day three times a week. The design of the clinic environment therefore plays a significant role in their overall quality of life.

Typical aspects of the patient centred-design approach includes the use of soft welcoming colours, diffuse lighting, the maximisation of external views, the provision of audio-visual entertainment and internet connection are vital considerations in the final presentation of the clinics.

The clinics are highly serviced with high quality reverse osmosis water loops, body protected electrical services, patient monitoring software and nurse call systems. Mechanical services are specifically designed to provide a draught free environment and careful control as patients are temperature sensitive, particularly to the cold.

Maintenance of a sterile environment is also essential and the detailing of fixtures and fittings, wall and floor junctions and finishes selections have been developed to be both robust and be easy to clean and maintain.
