Direct Healthcare Services has earned royal recognition with a prestigious Queen\u2019s Award for Enterprise in Innovation for our Intelligent Pressure Care Management\u00a0solution.<\/p>\n
The Queen\u2019s Award for Enterprise is the highest official UK award for British businesses. To win, businesses have to demonstrate outstanding commercial success and a unique approach to a new invention, service or product.<\/p>\n
Our Intelligent Pressure Care Management, featuring the Dyna-Form\u00ae Mercury Advance powered hybrid mattress, was designed to help make a measurable difference in the delivery of harm-free patient care, specifically to reduce incidences of pressure ulcers.<\/p>\n
The patented design, a hybrid of a high specification foam mattress and a dynamic mattress, allows nurses to instantly convert any standard hospital bed into a dynamic mattress, enabling earlier intervention for \u2018at risk\u2019 patients.
\nCurrently 35,000 patients a day in the UK are nursed on the Dyna-Form\u00ae Mercury Advance powered hybrid mattress.<\/p>\n
Graham Ewart, managing director, said: \u201cDelivering genuine innovation that makes a real difference to both patients and the lives of our hardworking healthcare professionals is at the very heart of everything we do, so we are incredibly honoured to receive such a prestigious award. We are even more proud that our solution has been of huge benefit to the NHS, helping patients and saving valuable time and resources.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
