Exceptional colleagues and robotic hospital cleaning

With the introduction of the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness, forward-thinking NHS Trusts recognise the benefit of a scientific approach to cleaning. The framework promotes consistency of processes across the entire NHS. This must be backed up by robust data, to provide assurance that hospitals are clean. Such requirements place considerable demand on healthcare organisations’ cleaning partners.

Mitie’s approach to hospital cleaning includes cleaning robots, some of which use the power of UVC light to fight bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Cutting-edge air cleansing technology provides further assurance of hygienic clinical environments.

To complement our technical solutions, Mitie has a professional team of 25,000 highly trained cleaning operatives. They are issued with handheld devices, which allocate tasks to individuals closest to the job at hand throughout the day. This allows clinical staff to focus on patient care, knowing that a dedicated team is achieving optimum levels of cleanliness.

Mitie has a purpose-built Cleaning and Hygiene Centre of Excellence (CHCE), where visitors can witness our commitment to excellence in healthcare cleanliness first-hand. Guests experience the development of science-backed cleaning processes and products in the Birmingham lab. CHCE offers training accredited by the British Institute of Cleaning Science, and the statistics opposite further demonstrate our achievements.
