MTCCN takes delivery of eight critical care trolleys

We’re delighted to report that the Mid-Trent Critical Care Network has acquired eight Critical Care Trolleys, which have been hailed as a ‘potential life saver’ by clinicians, heart experts and partners across the NHS.
The specially designed trolley includes the latest technology to enable clinicians to constantly monitor a patient’s condition, helping to ensure these vulnerable patients get the best possible care when they need it most. It also enables ambulance crews to transfer patients quickly and easily with no need to disconnect vital life-supporting equipment at any time during transfer, significantly reducing the risk of complications.
Mid-Trent’s purchase of eight trolleys will effectively increase the levels of care and safety that the patients receive by reducing the risks that arise from transporting patients between various hospitals and specialist centres.
Ferno was approached with the proposal for producing a new Critical Care Trolley by the Mid-Trent Critical Care Network, as well as various clinicians from across the NHS.
Ferno managing director Jon Ellis said: “Nothing like this has been developed before and our research and development team rose to the challenge to deliver a product that specifically met the client’s exacting brief and could have long-term benefits for heart patients across the UK.”
Surrey, Sussex, St Peter’s and Frimley Park NHS trusts have all also taken deliveries of the new trolleys. Dr Peter Clarkson, the consultant cardiologist at Frimley Park Hospital, said: “Together, we decided we could do more to support these critically ill patients on transfer to a specialist centre for expert health care.
“Clinicians from local clinical networks, Surrey’s acute hospitals, the South East Coat Ambulance Services and NHS Surrey came together to really raise the standards for hearth patients, both in Surrey and nationally.”
