Case Study:<br />
Northwick Park Hospital<br />
Northwick Park Hospital is part of the London North West Healthcare<br />
NHS Trust, which is one of the largest trusts in the country. It is one of<br />
eight London hyper acute stroke units (HASUs), based in the Borough of<br />
Harrow and is a teaching hospital for students of Imperial College School<br />
of Medicine.<br />
THE CHALLENGE<br />
The hospital was seeking to replace the existing outdated emergency<br />
lighting, with a requirement for a Self-Testing system that would reduce<br />
the burden on the maintenance team and minimise disruption to the<br />
patients and healthcare staff. The initial project was carried out in 2016<br />
to show the system benefits in a small area within a hospital ward.<br />
Following the success of the first project, a schedule was put in place to<br />
install further emergency lighting during 2017/18.<br />
WHAT WE DID<br />
• Installed P4’s state of the art M-web, a fully automatic addressable selftesting<br />
emergency lighting monitoring system, initially for a small area<br />
of the hospital.<br />
• Provided 160 emergency luminaires throughout the site over four<br />
Collector (Data Collection) Boxes with future projects to follow.<br />
• Provided support for the Trust’s pre and post solution implementation<br />
plan and the need to continue to provide a safe and disruption free<br />
environment for all of their staff and patients.<br />

• To date, P4 has replaced the existing emergency lighting across a<br />
number of wards within the hospital site, substantially reducing<br />
maintenance costs thanks to the M-web’s self-testing capability.<br />
• The modular nature of P4’s systems, enabling a single M-web ‘head<br />
end’, with associated Collector Boxes sited in each building, means that<br />
Northwick Park Hospital are able to phase the roll out of the system.<br />
• Unnecessary ward access has been eliminated in the areas serviced by<br />
the M-web, as the system automatically tests and reports on correct<br />
emergency lighting operation.<br />
• The addressable monitoring and control solutions allow the Trust to set<br />
times when it is convenient to automatically and individually test the<br />
emergency luminaires connected to the system, thereby minimising<br />
disturbance during times when patients are sleeping or receiving<br />
treatment.<br />
• Market leading six-year warranty for P4 LED drivers and batteries.
