Ventilation is used extensively in healthcare premises for primary patient treatment in operating departments, intensive treatment units and isolation suites. It is also installed to ensure compliance with quality assurance of manufactured items in pharmacy and sterile supply departments and to protect staff from harmful organisms and toxic substances, for example in laboratories.

This edition of Health Technical Memorandum 2025 ‘Ventilation in healthcare premises’ is published in separate sections. It is equally applicable to both new and existing sites. It gives comprehensive advice and guidance to healthcare management, design engineers, estates managers and operations managers on the legal requirements, design implications, maintenance and operation of specialist ventilation in all types of healthcare premises.
