Introducing ParkHill’s Local Security Management Service In December 2003, the Secretary of State for Health announced a mandatory requirement for each NHS Trust to appoint a Local Security Management Specialist (LSMS). The LSMS is responsible for delivering a safe and secure environment so that the highest standards of clinical care can be made available to patients. ParkHill has a proven track record in providing accredited, independent Security Management Specialists to help you to meet your statutory obligations and to continually improve the management of your security and the protection of your staff.
How ParkHill Can Help ParkHill offers a dedicated security management service to help NHS organisations fulfil their legal duties and maintain their reputation. We provide security management professionals with the specialist knowledge, insight and resources to enable organisations to manage their security risks effectively.
Benefits of ParkHill’s Service By outsourcing their security management provision to ParkHill, clients benefit from: ▪ An economical service, more cost-effective than employing a full time in-house member of staff ▪ A fresh perspective on their security management arrangements, drawing on our knowledge of the latest thinking and best practice ▪ Experienced security practitioners who not only have theoretical knowledge, but also practical experience of having worked with a range of NHS organisations ▪ Professional advisors who understand the NHS context and can work at management level to help build a pro-security culture
Our Approach ParkHill’s approach is a flexible one and provides security management services on a budget. We agree a detailed work plan with clients which outlines our scope of activities and the level of resources we will allocate to undertake this work.
