Due to an increase in demand for transport requirements for the larger patient. Nerams’ bariatric service caters for the their needs with key emphasis on safety, comfort, and dignity. Our Bariatric Ambulance has a specialised stretcher, manual handling aids, wheelchair, and winch system.
It is acknowledged that there are variations in how the bariatric person is defined. With this in mind, a dynamic risk assessment is completed before any patient is moved to ensure their complex needs are met from the outset.
In recognizing the significant increase in bariatric patients throughout the UK and the limited resources that are readily accessible for this group of patients; Nerams continues to evaluate and purchase state-of-the-art equipment to ensure safe and comfortable transfers for all bariatric patients.
Our specialist crews are trained to a national standard which is deemed 'best practice' in moving & handling and in the safe use of all specialist equipment. We provide expert support to NHS Trusts and local authorities. We are trusted by both our patients and our customers to offer a service that guarantees safety and compassion.
Our goal is to provide an optimal solution in pre-hospital at all levels.
Our Bariatric crews undertake specialist training over and above that of their existing clinical level.
