Nursing station casework (Furniture consisting of different units, e.g., cabinets, shelves, racks, worktops, combined and installed in a hospital/healthcare facility to provide users with a functional work and storage place. This will also separate the floor/room area creating a practical discrete working environment for the staff and/or patients. The units are used to store materials, supplies, devices, records, samples, and other items. This furniture is usually modular and constructed using thicker panels and more long-lasting surface finishes than ordinary office/domestic furniture.)
