Shropshire Medical Company Hospital Direct has more than 12 years experience in manual handling. Over this time they have become specialists in the field of patient handling equipment of a small and lightweight nature.

 They are well respected in the professional sector of the NHS and Social Service, not only for the products they supply but also the problem solving service they offer.  With a number of their staff competently trained as manual handlers they can ensure that they know in detail the problems that staff experience when moving people and it enables them to develop revolutionary solutions to problems experienced.

Over the years they have continually extended their product range, as they carry on developing products to overcome the specific manual handling problems that they or their customers have come across.  This in turn has resulted in the development of a diverse and innovative product range that will ensure the majority of moving and handling issues people experience is resolved.

Hospital Direct are now launching a Care at Home website that has been specifically designed for private individuals, it includes a range of their moving and handling products to help in a variety of situations.  These products will provide the individual with more independence and dignity, whilst significantly reducing the manual handling risks on the carer. 

There is also a huge selection of handy aids for the home and car, such as kitchen and dining products, garden products, dressing products and a variety of small, easy to use equipment grouped into a pack for use with cars.  These products are all designed to make getting around easier and to assist with the completion of everyday tasks.

Products have also been categorised by the particular problems people experience, such as getting in and out cars, those waiting for a Hip Replacement and products suitable for people who have experienced a stroke.  This is so that people can easily find products to suit their specific needs.

The Hip Pack is a recent addition to the product range, which has been developed for people who are waiting for a Hip Replacement.  The products included in the pack are there to help ease the pain and discomfort when suffering from this injury, as well as the recovery period after the operation. 

We are now developing further packs to solve problems that people experience with a particular health issue.  Products included in the pack have been chosen due to their suitability to each predicament, and the packs are widely tested to ensure that it is truly beneficial to people.  Other packs in development include the Car Assist Pack, Stroke Pack, Wheelchair Pack and Mutual Care Pack.
