WH Bence’s mobile breast screening unit for Norfolk & Norwich combines a dedicated GE mammography space with private changing facilities, a welcoming waiting area and practical staff accommodation. The single-axle trailer brings these facilities together in a purpose-built layout designed around patient privacy and day-to-day screening operations.
From the entrance lobby, the layout incorporates reception, waiting-area bench seating with integrated storage, and two private changing cubicles with their own seating and storage. Steel-lined doors connect the changing rooms to the scanning room, while a separate exit supports a one-way patient route through the unit. A combined reception and staff rest area includes a kitchenette for the screening team.
A hybrid battery and smaller generator system, supplemented by solar power, provides an alternative to continuous generator operation, with battery-only running available for portions of the day. Single-phase mains connectivity provides a further power option, while IFM remote monitoring and temperature logging support oversight of the unit’s systems.
Split air conditioning and supplementary heating serve the internal spaces, with dedicated extraction in the changing cubicles. Wipe-clean GRP walls, non-slip vinyl flooring and a clinical sink with long-lever taps support routine cleaning. Dimmable scanning-room lighting and an intercom between reception and the scanning room provide practical control and communication for staff.
Four hydraulic lifting legs provide on-site levelling, with an emergency hydraulic override. Entrance and exit platforms incorporate steps and handrails, with a canopy above the main entrance. A moulded fibreglass front dome encloses the external air-conditioning equipment for a coordinated exterior finish. Onboard 300-litre fresh and grey water tanks with level warnings, CAT6A network cabling, security and panic alarms complete a specification focused on practical mobile screening provision.
