Care homes, hospitals and the wider city
Portsmouth's care homes range from small residential homes in Southsea to large nursing homes on the edges of the city. Its NHS acute services are run by Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham, with community services provided across the city. Whether you need one hoist examined or a full servicing contract, there's no minimum number of items, and your records will be ready for CQC.
The city's universities, hotels, offices and venues also rely on evacuation chairs in their stairwells, and on staff trained to use them. We can train your staff on your own stairs.
