Vanguard Healthcare, ‘a pioneer of mobile healthcare technology’, operates ‘the world’s largest fleet of mobile healthcare facilities’.
The company said: “Since 2003 our units have been used by the majority of acute NHS Trusts and Health Boards across the UK, providing high quality clinical environments that allow providers to instantly increase their clinical capacity. Our facilities are suited to a range of surgical specialties, and have been used to address 75 per cent of surgery types performed under the NHS. Our fleet includes theatres featuring laminar flow ventilation systems; wards; outpatient clinics; endoscopy suites, and day surgery units. We can help healthcare providers deliver a range of services in a community setting.”
With the increasing shift in focus from acute to community service provision in the Five Year Forward View, Vanguard has developed an ‘innovative system of flexible infrastructure’, Healthportability, ‘to assist community healthcare providers to deliver a greater range of elective and diagnostic services’. It said: “To find out more about our unique community healthcare service, or any of our fleet of mobile facilities, visit us on stand B26.”
