The unit needed to be supplied with a range patient floor alarm systems, pressure reducing and relieving cushions & mattresses and moving & handling equipment, prior to opening. As EMS hold stock at all times, we were able to fulfil the order within the urgent time frame allowing the unit to be opened at short notice.

All of these were sourced, installed during this busy period, along with medication fridges that were required at short notice, and which were in addition to the equipment already being supplied.

Next Steps

Since this time EMS have supplied & fitted equipment to other new intermediate care units.
