We were asked to improve and expand upon the existing storage facility for the wheelchair and prosthetic departments at the Bristol Centre for Enablement.  We were to provide easy and accessible storage for wheelchairs; ensuring chairs were stored safely and in the most space efficient way possible.

To provide an easier method for storing wheelchair wheels we provided new long span racking and decks in the stores, stock and accessory store areas and re-located existing shelving for re-use is some of these areas also.

We designed a mobile cantilever rack in the repair workshop to store spare wheels on – allowing the wheels to be stored by size and style and making them easy to access and move around the work area.

MS Storage were contacted by St Georges Medical Practice to discuss their storage requirement for patient medical records. As is common place within medical practices, there is an ever growing need to house patient records and space is often at a premium.  The surgery needed a shelving system that would accommodate existing medical records and provide additional storage for future use. Total requirement for storage of Lloyd George notes was in the region of 8,500 records.  Working alongside surgery staff, our team of installers were able to build up the shelving system in a very short time frame to enable the continued smooth running of the medical practice.

Royal Derby Hospital introduced a programme to update and improve the ward storage areas located within the main Hospital. MS Storage were consulted as an approved NHS Supply Chain supplier to work with the Hospital to provide design solutions for each of the 22 ward storage areas spread over 4 floors of the main Hospital for consideration. MS Storage firstly detailed the existing storage in each location, discussed problems with the existing stock methods and systems to try and design the new system to eradicate these issues.

The solution was to design in an HTM71 Stock Control System together with static open shelving. The designs were thoroughly discussed with end users prior to installation to ensure the staff had been fully briefed on the new storage system and how it worked prior to installation within the Hospital. The new system, greatly improved stock rotation (use by dates), stock was easy to locate, kept neat and tidy and therefore greatly improved ward efficiency by reducing the time spent by staff retrieving stock items.

The final logistics problem to solve was how to install the new system whilst the Wards were fully operational. Working closely with the Estates team, Purchasing and the Ward Housekeepers all 22 areas were installed with the new system under an agreed scheduled programme of works.
Spread over 4 floors and 4 weeks the project was completed without a single issue and without a single patient’s treatment being disrupted which was the main focus of attention.
