Why hospitals choose our security guarding
Calm public-facing presence
A professional security presence can support hospital procedures while remaining appropriate for busy patient and visitor environments.
Cover for agreed security posts
Guards can be positioned at entrances, reception areas and other agreed posts according to the hospital's security requirements.
Security suited to busy healthcare settings
Hospitals need security that remains professional, visible and appropriate for busy public-facing environments. At OWL Guarding UK Ltd, we provide hospital security guards for entrances, reception areas and other agreed security posts, with duties shaped around the requirements of each site. From our base in Sutton, we provide hospital security across London, supporting healthcare premises with access oversight, visitor procedures and a visible security presence. Guards can monitor agreed entrances, support public-facing areas and follow site procedures for reporting or escalating security concerns.
Guarding shaped around hospital requirements
Hospital security requirements can vary according to the size of the site, number of entrances, operating hours, visitor activity and responsibilities of each post. With OWL Guarding UK Ltd, we discuss the required posts, shift patterns, duties and level of risk before agreeing a guarding arrangement. Rates are agreed per hour according to the requirements of the role. Where a hospital post carries greater responsibility or requires broader experience, personnel can be matched to the requirements of the assignment.
