Medstrom

elevating patient experiences , streamlining healthcare workflows , and enhancing trust in the reliability of the business .

In this issue , Manufacturing Today is taking Medstrom ’ s story beyond its operational capabilities . Recently , the company announced that along with KFM , it has been selected as a finalist in the prestigious HSJ Partnership Awards 2022 for implementation of a new bed replacement program at King ’ s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust . Medstrom , working in partnership with the KFM Beds and Equipment Service , provided 612 new beds across 43 hospital wards in just eight weeks during 2021 .

During Covid-19 , King ’ s College Hospital , one of London ’ s busiest NHS Trusts , was operating at full capacity when the project was delivered . Of course an installation of this size brought with it a unique set of challenges , including logistics and keeping workplaces operational amid pandemic restrictions .. However , these were overcome to ensure a successful replacement process .

The selected equipment was chosen based on the improved clinical outcomes and experience it could offer patients . These involved a reduction in falls and pressure ulcer incidences . The benefits it would offer NHS staff were also key and included ease of use and reducing moving and handling risks .
