Howard Medical & Distec Ltd. unveil cutting-edge medical technology at the UK Health Show

Howard Medical was proud to exhibit alongside our UK partner, Distec Ltd., and Elo Touchscreen Technologies at the UK Health Show which took place September 25-26, 2018 in London. It is the country's leading gathering of NHS, primary care, independent sector, local authorities, and private providers. The show gave Howard Medical, Distec and other exhibitors an opportunity to share their latest innovations that are aimed to help healthcare professionals drive efficiencies, reduce costs and ultimately enhance patient care.

Howard Medical’s advanced mobile carts are well-established in the US, and Distec is working with the firm to bring them to the UK market for the first time. The carts are fully customisable according to the needs of each care setting, and support electronic patient records (EPR), the Paperless 2020 initiative and ePMA, therefore supporting the wider healthcare sector challenges of digital transformation and greater health and social care integration in the United Kingdom. The carts feature advanced medication delivery systems, on-demand steer assist technology, intelligent ergonomics, outstanding battery life and flexible storage, and are therefore suitable for use in a range of health and social care settings, including hospitals, clinics and care homes.

Wes Craddock, International Sales Manager at Howard Medical said: “We were excited to exhibit our innovative mobile cart solutions at one of the UK’s leading health shows and connect with healthcare professionals across the UK. Howard Medical in partnership with Distec Ltd is well-positioned to deliver unique solutions that will enhance providers’ efforts to meet the demands of EPR and ePMA today and into the future.”

Noel Sheppard, Director of Distec said: “We understand how beneficial digital technology can be when deployed in a healthcare setting - reductions in paperwork, improved audit trails for medication, reduction of prescribing and administration errors, increased communication between hospital departments and pharmacies, and secure data – all supporting practitioners in delivering better patient care. We were very excited to be exhibiting at the leading show of its type in the UK. We are confident that our solutions will be at the heart of enhanced patient care and cost savings and help drive digital transformation change in the UK healthcare sector.”
