Operation 'Kitchen Refurbishment'
25 July 2008
Container Kitchen Systems' temporary modules keep patients fed during refurbishment
It is now recognised that hospital food plays an important part in patient care. Fresh, well cooked and nicely presented food encourages patients to eat well and get the nutrients they need to recover from surgery and serious illness. It can even decrease the amount of time they need to spend in hospital.
Hospital catering is going through major changes with moves towards offering more flexible menu options, 24 hour catering and the raising of nutritional standards. So hospitals are now taking a new look at their catering facilities and making plans for the refurbishment necessary to meet new objectives.
Staff are often resistant when it comes to refurbishment and managers are nervous about possible disruptions to the running and routine of the hospital catering system. But these fears are unnecessary, explains Mark Kingston of Container Kitchen Systems.
"We can supply temporary kitchen modules that mirror the old kitchen so that working practices don't need to be changed dramatically during the refurbishment period," says Mark. "On the other hand some people like to try out new equipment in their temporary kitchen, for example to get used to what will be in the new kitchen. Either way we put in exactly what the customer wants."
CKS also offers a complete refurbishment package. As well as supplying temporary kitchens for use during refurbishment CKS can actually do the refurbishment work. This simplifies the overall management of the project, since it cuts down on the number of contractors involved.
The kitchen modules are delivered fully equipped and ready-to-use, and are easy to install and quick to commission. Their modular design means they can be linked together or even stacked one on top of another, depending on space limitations. Once connected to a mains electrical supply they are ready to use.
Food hygiene is an added pressure. No preparation is subject to more rigorous hygiene legislation than in hospital catering. But CKS temporary kitchens meet all the latest regulations to further ease the transition.
CKS has a wide variety of temporary kitchens and facilities, from all-in-one ready-fitted kitchens that can be delivered and working in a day or two, through to specialist units such as storage rooms, refrigerated and freezer coldrooms, self-service facilities, temporary dining areas and washroom facilities.
