Our services
Patient transfer service
Patient transfer service
Making sure that patients are transferred safely between wards, departments as well as emergency units and surgery rooms is a part and parcel of our services. Therefore, a highly professional team is fundamental since time precision and accurate information flow can strongly influence not only the patient experience but also the discharge and admission rates of hospitalized patients.
Auxiliary service in the ward
Auxiliary service in the ward
When it comes to auxiliary services, our personnel works collaboratively with healthcare and hospital staff in order to guarantee that rooms, beds, wardrobes and other equipment used by patients are clean and in perfect order. In addition, our teams are responsible for providing additional services such as laundry service, meal delivery, bed linen change and other tasks that contribute to a comfortable and above all secure patient experience.
Transport of biological and pharmaceutical materials
Transport of biological and pharmaceutical materials
Drugs and medical supplies are vital to patients' care. That's why intrahospital transport of biological, pharmaceutical and health-care materials is one of the most important supportive services inside a hospital. Our teams make sure that all medicines, medical equipment and other pharmaceutical supplies as well as biological material are distributed and delivered safely to the right people, in the right department and at the right time.
Waste handling
Waste handling
Another extremely important aspect of our hospital transport and auxiliary services is waste handling. Incorporating efficient and safe practices is crucial to reducing risk of infections and avoiding putting patients and healthcare workers in risk.
Management of pharmaceutical stocks
Management of pharmaceutical stocks
Ensuring that pharmaceutical stocks are delivered and handled appropriately from ward to ward affects the quality of care that patients receive as well as the work of the nursing and medical stuff. A well-organized, fast and controlled transfer of pharmaceutical material not only makes doctors' and nurses' jobs easier but it also increases time efficiency, patient outcome and therefore administrative costs.
Patient care service
Patient care service
In any hospital, care home or healthcare facility, it is extremely important that patients are treated with care, dignity and absolute respect for their privacy. To ensure this, our patient care teams receive the necessary training. From assisting patients with drinking or eating to preparing their bed, our staff guarantees maximum levels of attention, safety and professionalism.
