Healthcare environments need security that protects patients, staff and sensitive areas without creating unnecessary friction. Arana integrates access control, biometric identity, CCTV, workforce management and other security systems around the way your facility operates.
The reality of running a healthcare site
Not theoretical threats, the pressures that come with caring for people around the clock.
Pharmacies and drug cabinets need access logged to the individual, not just the department.
Paediatric, maternity and mental health wards demand tighter, provable control over who reaches them.
Fobs and cards passed between staff at busy handovers break the audit trail exactly when it matters most.
Balancing open, welcoming wards against the need to know exactly who is with a patient and when.
A&E, back-of-house and out-of-hours entrances need reliable control with no one on the door.
CQC and NHS compliance reviews expect a complete, reliable access record on demand, not reconstructed after the fact.
WHy integrated matters
Hospitals and clinics manage different access requirements across clinical staff, agency workers, contractors, patients and visitors. Arana connects identity, access permissions, surveillance and workforce systems so security teams can manage these requirements through a coordinated technology environment.
The right person should reach the ward, pharmacy or lab in seconds, and every entry should be evidence you can hand to a regulator.

Turning shift changes into accurate records

Why Arana
We’re a specialist integrator, not a call-centre-scale vendor. You deal directly with senior engineers from the first site survey onwards, and with a team that takes the time to understand how your organisation actually operates.
Speak with the engineer who configured your ward and pharmacy access, not a support queue starting from zero.
New staff, agency workers and ward changes are actioned in days, not a vendor’s quarterly release cycle.
Access built around your wards, shifts and safeguarding needs, not a generic site template.
The team that installs your systems is the same team accountable when the CQC asks for your access record.
Tell us how your facility operates and we’ll map the security, identity and workforce systems around it.
