Maximise Acute Bed Capacity this Winter

The last few years have seen some of the most challenging times for bed capacity planning and management. Current bed space is already at a premium due to the backlog of medical cases which the NHS is faced with, due to treatment delays during the pandemic. As we move into winter and the potential of increased instances of hospitalisation due to infections such as Flu and Noro virus, the demand on bed spaces will be pushed to extremes. Planning now for these eventualities
will ensure that hospitals can maintain a high level of service and support for patients and staff through the difficult winter pressure months.

Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare are able to help…

We can provide acute beds and mattresses to help you maximise bed capacity, help you hit your targets and maintain patient care.
