Enhancing comfort and flexibility at Dr Paul Placanica Medical Centre
Dr Paul Placanica, a general practice medical centre located in Mascot, NSW, recognised the need to refresh their waiting area seating.
The existing chairs had been in use for many years, showing signs of wear and tear, and no longer aligned with the professional atmosphere the clinic sought to maintain. Additionally, the previous seating arrangement didn’t offer much flexibility in terms of layout or patient comfort. With an increasing focus on creating a welcoming and functional space, the medical centre decided it was time for an upgrade.
The Solution
Elite Office Furniture, one of Buro’s trusted resellers, recommended the Buro Lindis Guest Chair as an ideal replacement. Sixteen chairs were supplied, featuring sleek, modern lines and a robust powder-coated frame that complemented the clinic’s clean design.
The Buro Lindis Guest Chair brings a host of benefits that directly address the medical centre’s needs:
Increased patient comfort and space
The shift from old seating to individual guest chairs allowed patients to have their own space, which is especially important in healthcare environments where personal space can enhance comfort and reduce anxiety.
Flexible layout
With the ability to easily move and re-arrange the chairs, the clinic staff now enjoys the flexibility to adapt the waiting area as needed, ensuring better flow and accommodating various numbers of patients during busy periods.
Practical design features
The flat armrests provide much-needed support, assisting patients—particularly the elderly or those with mobility issues—when getting in and out of the chairs. This feature helps promote accessibility and ensures that the seating accommodates a wide range of needs.
Hygiene and durability in a medical setting
One of the most significant factors in selecting the Buro Lindis for this medical practice was the chair’s PU upholstery, which is not only antimicrobial but also designed for easy cleaning. In a healthcare environment, maintaining hygiene standards is of the utmost importance, and the ability to quickly wipe down surfaces ensures that the clinic remains clean and safe for all patients.
The Result
Since replacing their outdated chairs, Dr Paul Placanica’s waiting area has been transformed into a more comfortable, flexible, and hygienic space. The Buro Lindis Guest Chair has proven to be a practical, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution that meets the demands of a busy medical environment.
