Smart fridge in Edinburgh
at the BioQuarter and beyond

On the south-east edge of Edinburgh, the BioQuarter combines the Royal Infirmary, a major acute teaching hospital, with university research institutes and life-science companies. Around 9,000 people work or study there. Clinical staff on night shifts and researchers running long experiments share one problem: once the day's catering stops, the campus has little to offer.

Where people work

A hospital campus,
universities and finance

The Edinburgh BioQuarter brings together the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, university medical research and a growing number of companies, with plans for further growth over the coming decade. Clinical and support staff work in shifts around the clock, while laboratories keep their own irregular hours. Edinburgh is also a university city, with campuses where students and researchers stay late, and a major centre for financial services, with offices in the city centre and in business parks on the western edge. Towards the airport, business parks and hotels add staff on early and late shifts. Across these sites, people often find catering that suits office hours, not theirs.

Questions from Edinburgh
Can an NHS site install a smart fridge?

Yes, in a staff area away from patient care. Infection prevention and estates decide on the location; procurement rules decide the process.

Can students and researchers pay easily?

Yes, by bank card or app. A campus card can sometimes be linked; we check that for your site.

Who restocks it?

Your catering team, your caterer or a local supplier.
