Challenges & Mitigations
Challenge
Sensitive Clinical Environments
Work was required in high-dependency departments like NICU and Operating Theatres.
Mitigation
Strict infection control protocols and department-specific procedures were followed throughout.
Challenge
Out-of-Hours Delivery
Standard working hours were not feasible due to hospital activity.
Mitigation
Works were carried out during evenings, weekends, and overnight, requiring flexible labour management and on-call supervision.
