Review contracts and agreements for the obligations they create around hospital and health facility security.
Managing Security in Hospitals and Health Facilities
An applied course in hospital and health facility security built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Most security failures involving hospital and health facility security exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. Insider risk in facility security is uncomfortable to discuss and expensive to ignore. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this part of corporate security practice is examined from more than one functional angle. Participants finish able to explain hospital and health facility security to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the practice within corporate security practice is examined, not just described. The programme takes participants through facility security end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Improvement in hospital and health facility security stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Practitioner evidence points the same way: facility security improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of corporate security practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
