Look before you book – make best use of our space
Staff are being reminded to cancel meeting room bookings they no longer plan to use.
The reminder comes following evidence that despite being booked, up to a third of meeting rooms across all locations still go unused.
Head of planning, Graham Johnston, said: “We realise that meetings can often be cancelled at short notice, but all we are asking is that when this happens, please cancel the booking.
“Similarly, don’t block book meeting rooms as there will be occasions when meetings are cancelled but the rooms aren’t.
“Not doing this deprives others of a meeting space they could use.”
The reminder is part of the space utilisation work which is currently underway within NHS Lanarkshire.
Results from space utilisation surveys carried out in locations surveyed so far, show utilisation is frequently under 50 per cent.
Graham continued: “If a meeting is required, consider tele or video conferencing which may be more suitable before booking a room.
“If you do require a room, get one that fits the size of your group.
“Often, it may be possible to use the office of someone who may be away.
“Finally, if you’re meeting is no longer taking place, please remember to cancel the booking.”
