Product Innovation

We exist to push limits, challenge thinking, innovate, and do what it takes to move safety and design in Mental Health environments to the next level. By exploring client insights, we are able to leap-frog to new ways of thinking that support smarter ways of operating and help deliver excellence in care.

From the introduction of the world’s only hinge-side anti-barricade door system, to the UK’s first full door edge ligature alarm system and most trusted high secure vision panel, our history at Kingsway Group is dotted with carefully designed innovations in anti-ligature and anti-barricade technology, centred around the specific needs of clinical staff and service users.

By considering these needs at every step of our process, and through close collaboration with our NHS Trust partners and people with lived experience, we’ve developed the widest range of life-safety Complete Door Systems available for the most challenging environments.

Our range of anti-ligature and anti-barricade Complete Door Systems (see what makes a Complete Door System different) are developed in collaboration with leading health authorities, building designers, clinical teams, and Experts by Experience to ensure every requirement down to the finest of detail is considered. We call this process ‘collaborative innovation’ and it’s one of the things that’s helped us create solutions that are trusted across the globe.

Improving Patient Safety with Smart Technology

Beyond physical products, our efforts to improve safety and reduce risk within mental health facilities extend to the use of smart technology to assist clinical teams in delivering the best possible care.

Following extensive research with our NHS Trust partners, we’ve developed KOSMOS. Winner of Best Patient Safety Initiative at BBH Awards 2023, KOSMOS is the next generation ligature monitoring software to help clinical teams monitor and respond to ligature incidents with early warning indicators of ligature attempts.

In addition, our KOSMOS system provides management teams with invaluable data to help review patient care quality and highlight key trends on wards by logging a full audit trail of door activity, staff observations, and ligature alarm activations.
