The NHS is at full tilt; with bed capacity at its highest, Emergency Department targets being missed and Ambulances queuing resulting in delayed handovers and corridor care. Paraid, the patient transfer specialist may be able to help! We offer a range of solutions to assist with patient flow. Our range of Transporter Trolleys allow you to safely transfer patients, either intra or inter hospital. From Neonates to Bariatrics, we’ve a system to suit your exacting needs. Our Adapter is a configurable system that converts a standard ambulance stretcher or trolley to a medium dependency platform; enabling a higher or enhanced level care than a regular trolley or stretcher in a corridor. So, if you’re struggling with patient flow, perhaps you’re looking for a cost effective way of “upgrading” stretchers or trolleys or looking for a way to safely move patients around the hospital please reach out today for an informal chat.

⏰ Every Minute Counts! ⏰ Did you know that for every minute defibrillation is delayed, the chance of survival decreases by 10%? That's why having a defibrillator nearby is absolutely crucial during cardiac emergencies. 🚑❤️ Here are some eye-opening stats to highlight the power of defibrillators: -Immediate CPR and defibrillation within 3-5 minutes can increase survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest by up to 70%. - The ambulance service performed resuscitation in nearly 35,000 patients in England following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Two thirds of cardiac arrests happened in men, and around 80% happened in the patient's usual residence. Quick access to a defibrillator can save lives! - Public access defibrillators (PADs) have been shown to significantly improve survival rates in community settings.
