Fire safety in healthcare premises has always been a challenge to those that discharge this duty. Statutory compliance should be a matter of course, but in an ever increasingly challenged NHS, even this is not a given. While the NHS is driven by managing very complex risk to deliver cutting edge healthcare, providers cannot be risk averse. Which risk, however, takes priority? Here Peter Aldridge, fire and corporate services manager at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, and Secretary to the National Association of Healthcare Fire Officers (NAHFO)--which will this month and next jointly stage fire safety seminars with IHEEM; see page 8--considers the key issues, with input from a fire officer at a leading mental health and community Trust.
医疗场所的消防安全一直是履行这项职责的人员面临的一项挑战。遵守法规应该是理所当然的事情，但在日益面临挑战的英国国民医疗服务体系（NHS）中，即便如此也并非必然。虽然NHS致力于管理极其复杂的风险以提供前沿医疗服务，但提供者不能规避风险。然而，哪种风险应优先考虑呢？在此，利兹教学医院国民医疗服务信托基金的消防与企业服务经理、全国医疗保健消防官员协会（NAHFO）秘书彼得·奥尔德里奇——该协会将于本月和下月与医疗设备工程师与医疗技术人员协会（IHEEM）联合举办消防安全研讨会；详见第8页——结合一家领先的心理健康与社区信托基金的一名消防官员的意见，对关键问题进行了思考。
