Water Dispensers for Hospitals and Healthcare facilities
Hospitals and healthcare facilities are places where hygiene is of utmost importance, so it’s no surprise that water dispensers have become an essential part of these environments. Water dispensers provide a convenient way for patients and staff to stay hydrated without worrying about the health risks associated with drinking from public taps. They also help promote better hydration habits in an environment that emphasises hygiene, safety and cleanliness.

Why staying hydrated at the hospital or GP matters
The availability of clean and safe drinking water within healthcare facilities helps promote healthier habits amongst everyone involved, from patients to medical staff.
Here are some reasons why staying hydrated at the hospital or GP matters for patients and healthcare personnel:
Supports medication absorption – Many medications require water to be absorbed properly. If a patient is dehydrated, the medication may not work as effectively, which can delay recovery.
Reduces risk of complications – Dehydration can increase the risk of complications during medical treatment, such as urinary tract infections and blood clots. Staying hydrated can help prevent these complications from occurring.
Supports immune function – Proper hydration supports immune function, which is essential for fighting off infections and illnesses.
Ensures accuracy of medical tests – Some medical tests, such as blood tests, require patients to be properly hydrated for accurate results.
Types of water dispensers for hospitals and healthcare environments
Whether you opt for a drinking fountain or water cooler, the choice of quality water dispensers available is vast - and all have their own unique advantages.
Bottled Water Coolers
Bottled water coolers and dispensers are an excellent addition to any healthcare environment, including hospitals, GPs, and other medical facilities. They provide an affordable and convenient alternative to mains fed coolers, making them ideal for smaller healthcare facilities or locations with limited water supply.

Key areas to place water dispensers in hospitals, GPs and other healthcare environments
Placing water dispensers in strategic locations throughout hospitals, GPs, and other healthcare environments is important to ensure that patients and healthcare personnel have access to clean drinking water at all times. Some key areas to consider for water dispenser placement include:
Waiting areas
Placing water dispensers in waiting areas is a great way to provide patients with easy access to drinking water while they wait for appointments or procedures.
Patient rooms
Placing water dispensers in patient rooms is essential for patients who may not be able to leave their rooms or require frequent hydration. This is particularly important for patients who are recovering from surgery or other medical procedures.
Staff areas
Healthcare personnel need to stay hydrated throughout their shifts, so placing water dispensers in staff areas is crucial. This includes break rooms, nurse stations, and other areas where staff can take a quick break and hydrate.
A&E rooms
Time spent in A&E can be stressful and overwhelming for patients and their families. Placing water dispensers in these areas can provide a sense of comfort and convenience during a difficult time.
Go Green in hospitals
Water dispensers are an efficient way to reduce single-use plastic water bottles, helping your facility go green while ensuring everyone has access to clean drinking water. These devices use either a refillable tank or mains-fed connection, eliminating the need for disposable water bottles that can accumulate in landfills over time.
