Ferno features in Big Body Squad



Ferno has a starring role in the latest series of Channel 5’s Big Body Squad which follows the men and women whose job it is to look after the nation and its ‘growing needs’.
With nearly a million morbidly obese people in England, ambulance teams, fire crews, carers, and others are having to adapt to be able to provide a service for Britain’s ‘Big Society’.
As regular readers of the Ferno Blog will know we have developed a wide range of specialist bariatric equipment including ambulance trolleys, wheel chairs, evacuation chairs and hospital trolleys to help medical staff safely transport obese patients.
The eagle eyed among you should be able to spot Ferno’s kit throughout the series which appears each Tuesday on Channel 5 at 10.00 – look out for Harrier Trolleys in the latest episode on the Channel5 website.
The number of morbidly obese people in England has doubled since 2000 and in the next ten years it is predicted that more than a third of people in England will be obese.
As a result over the past ten years we have developed a range of bariatric equipment to help hospitals and the emergency services safely deal with larger patients, as well as allowing for a more dignified approach. The success of our equipment means Ferno products feature prominently in several medical dramas and documentaries - Big Body Squad is just our latest starring role.
Big Body Squad will follow the supersized ambulance teams, fire crews, equipment specialists and carers across the UK as they deal with the associated complications and risks that come with mobilising an obese nation.
