Built for private healthcare
Equipment that matches the standard of care you offer
Patients expect everything to work and look right. Planned maintenance keeps it that way, and keeps costs under control.
Cost-effective
One multi-brand contract replaces several manufacturer agreements, reducing cost and admin.
Governance-ready
Electronic reports and asset histories support your clinical governance, audits and CQC inspections.
Equipment that's always ready for patients
Private patients expect everything to work and look right. Shepherd provides tailored planned preventive maintenance for beds, examination couches, plinths, chairs, trolleys and patient-handling equipment, whatever the manufacturer, so equipment is always available and presentable.
Proven across a national group
For one national private hospital group, we service every bed and hoist at every one of their sites across the UK. The same team, schedule and reporting can work for a single clinic or a whole group.
Planned maintenance and fast repairs
Planned visits find worn parts before they fail, and our engineers carry spare parts to fix most faults on the first visit. One multi-brand contract replaces several manufacturer agreements, reducing cost and admin.
One partner for sales and servicing
We also supply equipment, including hospital beds, electric couches, gynae plinths, porter chairs and mobile hoists, and install ceiling track hoists with our own engineers. New items are tagged and added to your service schedule from the day they arrive.
Transparent records
Every item is barcoded on our own system and every visit is reported. Your team can log in to download a bespoke electronic report for each asset, ready for clinical governance, insurers and CQC inspections. See how asset tagging works.
