MS Storage were contacted by St Georges Medical Practice to discuss their storage requirement for patient medical records. As is common place within medical practices, there is an ever growing need to house patient records and space is often at a premium.  The surgery needed a shelving system that would accommodate existing medical records and provide additional storage for future use. Total requirement for storage of Lloyd George notes was in the region of 8,500 records.  Working alongside surgery staff, our team of installers were able to build up the shelving system in a very short time frame to enable the continued smooth running of the medical practice.

The world famous Moor fields Eye Hospital in central London opened a new building specifically for the care of children’s eyes. As part of this building a central patient’s records area was created within the basement of the building.

MS Storage designed and installed a high density mobile shelving system for records which provided the maximum storage capacity possible within the floor space provided. Designed in conjunction with the Medical Records staff, the system whilst providing high density storage allowed staff to quickly and effectively retrieve and replace records.

The system accommodates well over 100,000 records within a central location. The project had to overcome several design issues, from low ceiling height’s to air conditioning ducting throughout the area which we overcame with isometric pitching of the shelving bays.

• High Density Mobile Storage system
• Maximising the storage capacity within the floor space
• Isometric Shelving Bays to allow for ducting works.
• Restricted Access issues given Central London location
• Timed delivery and installation
• Complete Design Consultation and Project Management throughout

After the success of the initial installation (2400bays of static and mobile shelving) , MS Storage were approached again by Plymouth NHS Trust to add additional storage to a new extension on site. To achieve the required capacity a mezzanine floor was installed along with 762 bays of static and mobile shelving.

The logistics of the installation were paramount to the smooth running of the whole hospital project. Working alongside a main contractor we were able to meet the client’s requirements in line with all DDA and Building regulations to the agreed costs and time frames.

MS Storage were tasked with providing a new Medical Records library containing 2.4 km of steel shelving for Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust.  Based at Bush Park, Estover, Plymouth brought together the records management of the Primary Care Trust and Plymouth Hospitals Records service into one central location. The Library contains 2,000 bays of mobile and static shelving housing up to 1,000,000 individual Patient Records. The system was carefully designed utilising both the existing and new shelving, which was dismantled and re installed onto mobile bases. This increased the storage capacity of the existing library by a massive 62 per cent.

Working in close cooperation with NHS staff, the records were still made available for use 24/7 during the installation programme, which was completed in agreed phases over a 4 month period.
