Acoustics
Patient confidentiality is a prime consideration. The freedom of the plug and play concept allows
for the Verandas to be built anywhere, utilising waiting rooms, corridors and community spaces. Confidentiality is maintained through a certified 29db sound rating with visual privacy controlled with an option for privacy film to some or all of the glazed section.
Ergonomics
Verandas has been uniquely designed to deliver the best video conference experience in the best environment. Stringent attention has been given to all aspects of the physical environment including internal dimensions, desk size and position, technology, power, and airflow. With back-to-back consultations lasting 4 hours, often under stressful conditions, the experience has to support the difficult task performed by professional users.
Finishes
For a high-traffic consultancy pod, a durable and wipeable upholstery fabric will provide the most practical and hygienic surface. The leather-look vinyl upholstery of Verandas has an additional proven vinyl protective coating that’s engineered to create a tough, effective barrier against germs, abrasion and stains, including protection against coronaviruses, including influenza.
Accessibility
Close attention to easy access has been built into the system. All versions of have a threshold strip allowing the user's preferred chair to be wheeled in. The height-adjustable table means greater inclusivity and the simple use handle ensures users of all dexterities have an equal experience.
Relocatability
A key feature of the Verandas is its modular, 'sum of parts' nature. As estates
requirements change, Consult Flex changes with it. The entire assembly process can be completed using only hand tools, and it's modular nature means the system can flex to be made larger or small as needs change. Changes can be made by a Spacestor fitting team or we can train your own FM team to undertake changes.
Connectivity
The Verandas is based around the plug and play principle. Modules are assembled on site and the system can be dismantled and rebuilt with ease and at high speed by the in-house facilities team. Options for data connectivity include wired ethernet access or connection to the main building Wifi.
Security
Security options include free access for security controlled environments or the option to restrict access to approved users; a key requirement if pods are located in public areas like waiting rooms or corridors. Accessibility can be incorporated into the building management access control system to minimise admin. Enhanced asset management can be achieved by incorporating this into meeting space booking systems ensuring a space is always free for a consultant’s scheduled clinic.
