Medequip Help Boost Bed Capacity in Durham and Darlington

Medequip as providers of the community equipment service in Durham and Darlington were asked to help with the supply of 100 extra beds to be distributed to several local hospitals in the Durham and Darlington area.

Our procurement team managed to source the beds from Germany and on Saturday 11 April they were delivered to a temporary distribution centre at the Skills and Employment Centre in Spennymoor.

Here a team of 9 technicians assembled all 100 beds ready for roll-on roll-off distribution to the hospital locations they will be needed and used in. This was a fantastic effort over the Easter weekend by our team to support the local NHS services in County Durham.

The team were; Matt Brown, Michael Roberts, Andy Miller, Anthony Shaw, Simon Cooke, Benda Firth, Simon Haithwaite, Gary Thompson and Paul Scott. Well done all!

I just wanted to let you know that we had some fantastic support from Medequip yesterday to ensure that equipment was provided to support an end of life care discharge. The team here felt that Medequip went above and beyond to support this and I felt it was important to acknowledge this.

On collecting a loaned profiling bed that was no longer required. I would like to commend Jamie Woolford for his kindness in helping to fit a bed grab rail bought from Manage At Home.
