Delivering certainty every day when and where healthcare needs us.
Operating across acute hospitals, mental health and community, working with NHS and Independent providers, our focus is on improving outcomes – health, financial and experiential.
Creating a clean and safe environment for your people and your patients.
Protecta is our outcome-focussed approach to environmental infection prevention.
We work to reduce healthcare-associated infection rates by providing a consistent and comprehensive range of cleaning and infection prevention services that go beyond simply cleaning.
We know that ensuring surfaces in healthcare are visibly clean isn’t enough. Protecta goes beyond simply cleaning and focuses on infection prevention. We deploy technology, processes, and trained specialists, based on the level of infection risk in each area of a hospital.
- An extensive range of products and solutions to deploy. We’ve recently expanded our range of products and technologies so we can ensure you use the optimum equipment for each task, area, and surface material in your hospital.
- Rigorous delivery of the new National Cleaning Standards. Protecta processes, procedures and controls are fully supportive and will help hospitals deliver against the new National Standards and the new risk categories, elements, and frequencies.
- New Infection Prevention Protecta Training Academy. Offering staff a formal development pathway, with competency checks and certifications throughout.
- Become a Protecta Centre of Excellence. We’ll be creating Centres of Excellence with clients who want to test and evidence the impact of the latest innovations, investing in the wider range of Infection Prevention products with us.
