BED WATCHING

Marpol Security provides professional bed watching services to healthcare providers across the UK. From NHS Trusts to private hospitals, we support clinical teams in managing vulnerable or potentially violent patients—ensuring a safe environment for staff, patients, and visitors.

BED WATCHING SERVICES

Many NHS Trusts and private healthcare providers rely on firms like Marpol Security to provide bed watching services. This is typically reserved for potentially violent patients undergoing medical treatment. We provide a safe and reliable solution to ensure the safety and well-being of your patients and medical staff.

PROFESSIONAL BED WATCHING STAFF

Our bed watching officers are carefully selected for their experience in both mental health and professional security settings. They approach every patient with respect and discretion, maintaining dignity while remaining alert to behavioural changes or potential risks. Our officers work alongside medical staff, providing reassurance and rapid support in the event of an incident.

PATIENT TRANSPORT ESCORTS

Our service extends beyond the hospital ward. When patients need to be transported between facilities or departments, our officers can assist ambulance teams and paramedics by helping to manage aggressive or disruptive behaviour. They prioritise patient safety while supporting the clinical team in maintaining a calm, controlled environment throughout the journey.

WARD SECURITY

Once the patient is on the ward, our officers provide continuous monitoring. They remain alert to changes in behaviour that could indicate distress or escalation and respond appropriately. Where multiple patients require observation, our officers are able to rotate and patrol between beds without compromising attention or care.

A ROUND-THE-CLOCK BED WATCHING SOLUTION

We offer full shift coverage, ensuring your patients are never left unattended. Officers hand over in person with overlapping shifts, allowing for a detailed briefing and a seamless transition. This consistent presence supports both patient safety and staff confidence—whatever the duration of care required.

A NATIONWIDE BED WATCH SOLUTION

Marpol Security operates across the UK, with bed watch officers positioned nationwide. We can deploy fully trained and licensed personnel to provide support at short notice, wherever your healthcare facility is based.

24/7 BED WATCH SERVICES

Urgent situations can arise at any time, which is why our bed watching service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our central control room is staffed round the clock, ready to dispatch trained officers whenever you need them—day or night.
