The new equipment was acquired under a leasing deal after the
hospital foundation trust achieved a surplus of more than £1m
between 2006 and 2007.
Donna Green, the hospital’s deputy chief executive and director
of nursing, said: “The major benefits are that patients will be
cared for in electric-profile beds, which are much more comfortable
and supportive, while reducing the risks to staff in maneuvering
patients with mobility problems.
“We are also delighted that our intensive care and
high-dependency areas are the second in the UK to have all patients
being cared for on rotational total care sport beds’.”
Many of the old beds have been sold to an auction house and 60
have been donated to charity and will be shipped to a hospital in
Uganda.
