A post-surgery area, often referred to as a recovery space, serves as the transition zone between surgery and full recovery.

It provides a safe, comfortable environment where patients can regain consciousness and be closely monitored by medical staff. These spaces may also include dedicated changing rooms and discharge areas for administrative procedures. In addition, pharmacy zones and secure drug storage facilities are often incorporated to support the patient’s post-surgical care journey.

Recovery Rooms

At Ben Johnson Interiors, we design and fit out recovery rooms strategically located adjacent to surgical areas to support safe and efficient patient transfer following procedures. Rooms are furnished with adjustable beds or chairs to provide comfort and support during the critical post-operative period, alongside dedicated staff areas for patient monitoring, documentation and discharge coordination.

Our recovery room fit-outs prioritise patient safety and infection control, incorporating specialist wipeable wall finishes and highly slip-resistant, durable flooring to minimise risk. Adjustable lighting and ventilation systems create a comfortable environment, allowing conditions to be tailored to individual patient needs. Designs also allow for essential medical equipment, easy access to emergency supplies and clear sightlines to enable effective monitoring of multiple patients.

Discharge Rooms

Discharge rooms serve as dedicated administrative spaces where nurses, surgeons, and general practitioners can update patient records, coordinate care, and complete the discharge process. These rooms are designed to facilitate efficient communication between staff and ensure a smooth transition for patients leaving the facility.

While infection control is not as critical in discharge areas as in surgical or recovery spaces, durability and ease of maintenance remain important considerations. Surfaces are typically finished with wipeable wall cladding and resilient vinyl flooring to withstand frequent use. Each room is equipped with workstations for staff, along with chairs for patients or visitors, supporting administrative tasks in a comfortable and functional environment.

Pharmacy

As a specialist medical fit-out contractor, Ben Johnson Interiors designs, fits out and furnishes pharmacies to ensure the safe, efficient and secure handling of medications. Storage solutions typically include lockable cabinets and temperature-controlled fridges, often accessed via secure fob systems to meet regulatory requirements.

Efficient space planning allows multiple staff members to work simultaneously, enabling accurate and timely dispensing to multiple patients, with clear sightlines maintained for supervision.

Durable, non-slip vinyl flooring is used to minimise accident risk and for ease of maintenance. Sufficient power outlets support fridges and other essential equipment, alongside ergonomic workstations, appropriate lighting and controlled ventilation to maintain suitable environmental conditions.
