About us

Spectrum Healthcare (UK) Ltd specialises in providing evacuation and moving & handling equipment for hospitals, care homes, hospices, educational institutions, and other public or private facilities.

Our products are designed to prioritise the safety and comfort of both individuals and caregivers, while also ensuring adherence to legal standards like the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.

We work closely with healthcare professionals to design and adapt evacuation solutions tailored to patients with complex care needs.

Our Products Include:

Evacuation & Rescue
We provide a range of affordable evacuation and rescue equipment, designed to assist in the safe removal of casualties and service users during emergencies.

Bariatric Equipment
Our bariatric equipment is designed to safely evacuate and move obese and overweight individuals, while safeguarding caregivers from injuries related to manual handling.

Moving & Handling
Our moving and handling equipment is specifically designed for comfort and safety, helping to minimise the risk of injury to both caregivers and the individuals being moved.

Seating & Low Working
Our work chairs and low-working solutions are ergonomically designed to provide optimal comfort for users while minimising the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

The global increase in obesity has led to greater demand for bariatric equipment, as healthcare and emergency services encounter challenges in moving and transporting bariatric individuals. Our bariatric equipment is specifically designed to ensure the safe evacuation and handling of these individuals, while also protecting staff from manual handling injuries. Recognising the variability in bariatric body mass, we offer equipment that effectively meets these diverse needs.

To combat the high rate of moving and handling injuries, which represent 40% of work-related sickness absences in health and social care, our equipment is crafted to minimise injury risk for both staff and patients.

We also provide a modular floor mat, developed through NHS Innovations, as a component of our fall injury prevention program. Our services extend throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland, with training and product demonstrations offered by a network of consultants and distributors across these regions.
