Privacy Screen design for NHSBT

Privacy Screen

RGi worked in close collaboration with NHSBT to design a specification for a range of products and elements which go to make up a mobile blood donation session.

We carried out privacy screen design observation sessions. Studying the process from storage, transport and session set up, typically in a community centre or sports hall. Greeting donors, collecting blood and plasma, and providing post-donation care including tea and a biscuit. After the session, the team efficiently disassembled, collected, and loaded approximately 12 chair systems and related equipment onto vans using purpose-designed trolleys. Prioritizing donor comfort led to a revamped system featuring stackable, reclining chairs, trolleys, and privacy screens.

Privacy Screen Design Solution

During the initial information session, the team highlighted privacy as crucial because of the discussion involving personal and medical details. They explored a new way to screen the donor and nurse from the rest of the room. These wide-ranging concepts resulted in a set of specifications for producing a new design of a portable screen.

The new privacy screen offers sound absorption and ensures a high level of speech privacy for health screening. The screens had to be light weight, handleable by one person, modular in size, robust and repairable..  They needed to be easy to clean and to carry the NHSBT and devolved regional branding.

RGi went through stages of design, rapid prototyping and testing with several of the regional teams, arriving at a designed solution and specification. The company has fulfilled the tender for supply and delivered region-specific branded screen sets across the UK, including Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
