Proper CCTV placement ensures maximum coverage while maintaining patient privacy. Key locations include:
- Main entrances and exits – Monitors all visitors and staff.
- Reception and waiting areas – Helps track patient flow and security threats.
- Corridors and hallways – Ensures controlled movement within the clinic.
- Medication storage and pharmacy rooms – Prevents unauthorised access to controlled substances.
- Car parks and building exteriors – Deters theft and protects staff working after hours.
To comply with privacy laws, CCTV should not be placed in consultation rooms, patient restrooms, or changing areas.
