The Health and Social Care bill for England finally became law in March 2012 and those implementing the reforms have a year to prepare for a new era in healthcare provision.

The new clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) will take charge of finance and accountability, seeking new ways of providing cost-effective community based care. One of the challenges they face is the lack of suitable facilities.

Creating high quality, healthcare provision for patients via medical trailers is one solution being deployed. EMS Healthcare (www.ems-healthcare.com) has seen demand for this type of care soar and the benefits are now being realised across the country.

State-of-the-art medical trailers provide everything from temporary GP surgeries to mobile treatment wards. They can be quickly set up and moved around, providing a flexible solution for public and private providers who are seeking innovative ways of delivering NHS services.

A dual-purpose temporary healthcare unit, which EMS Healthcare installed in just seven days from signing the contract, is now serving hundreds of patients in Newcastle and is just one example of mobile care working in the community. Two medical trailers have been connected at the Blakelaw Clinic site to form a temporary, state-of-the-art GP and dental clinic, which is being deployed during the building of a new health centre delivered via the local LIFT Company for Newcastle Primary Care Trust.

Allowing GP and dental services to be delivered from the same site, the high spec facilities span everything from consultation rooms to reception and kitchen areas with full air conditioning and disabled access, providing a clinical environment that ensures consistent patient care during the Trust’s vital renovation.

Similar benefits are being recognised in Yorkshire where mobile healthcare solutions are helping medical consultants save the sight of thousands of patients.

A medical trailer is the base for eye (ophthalmology) specialists treating up to 50 patients a day with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nvARMD), which causes progressive sight loss. The unit allows patients to visit their local hospital site for treatment, saving them a trip of up to 84 miles.

Commissioned by The Eye Site Clinic Ltd, the medical trailer enables the delivery of an injectable drug treatment to patients who would otherwise go blind without it. The unit is being initially deployed at Bridlington hospital, eventually moving to other hospitals around the East Coast.

Richard Gale, consultant ophthalmologist at York Teaching Hospital and chairman of the Eye Site Clinic Ltd said: “There are an estimated 26,000 new cases of nvARMD a year, and the demand on ophthalmology units has become overwhelming. Eventually we hope to be able to offer this mobile service to hard pressed units throughout the country.”

Medical trailers are a proven accommodation solution, and could prove an increasingly important choice in the armoury of CCGs as they find innovative ways of providing care closer to people’s homes in the restructured NHS.

Great excitement locally as the Queen is visiting the park near to one of our offices for series of dancing, music and wild Britain exhibits (we are not sure what wild Britain refers to!).

We don’t feel required to attend all the events but are quite keen to cheer as she goes past.  We are all poised to rush over in a patriotic fever but no one can tell us when she is actually going to be there – well given the level of mud, rain and nasty biting wind we were hoping to be able to time it rather better than “sometime this afternoon” – not to mention work needing to get done in between.

But on to business and we hope that you have been browsing our More Than Mobility website looking at and choosing a lovely new Mobility Scooter for the summer.  We hear tales of blue skies over much of the UK today and surely we will have a warmer spell soon.

If you are experiencing urinary incontinence, such as leaking when you cough, sneeze or laugh, or the sudden urge to find the nearest convenience and frequent bathroom breaks, it is possible to treat your condition and also pick up a number of helpful incontinence products to improve your quality of life, regardless of bladder weakness.

Urinary incontinence can be caused by the weakening of your bladder muscles due to child bearing, aging and surgeries such as hysterectomies. It can also be affected by the foods you eat, and it can be helpful to identify which foods and drinks irritate your bladder.

While it is understood that high blood pressure is responsible for more than half of the world’s stroke deaths, research shows that elevated blood pressure can also affect the bladder and incontinence.

This is because the medication used to treat high blood pressure can have an adverse effect on bladder muscles, causing urinary retention and overflow (urge) incontinence.

Heart disease has a doubly negative effect on bladder health because while causing excessive urine build up, it can also impair mobility making it difficult to reach the bathroom in good time.

Even those of us with healthy blood pressure should safeguard against problems later in life by leading a healthy and active lifestyle. It is important to maintain a healthy weight, stay physically active and follow a moderate, healthy eating plan. It is also recommended to keep alcohol consumption low and avoid smoking, which thickens the blood and leads to increased plaque build up in arteries.

By avoiding high blood pressure, you might also successfully safeguard against related progressive bladder weakness and incontinence. Regardless, incontinence is an increasingly common problem amongst middle aged men and women in Britain.

If you suffer from urinary incontinence help is at hand from incontinence products providers such as Incontinence UK.

As the UK’s leading supplier of incontinence pads, incontinence pants, incontinence aids and other products relating to bladder weakness, Incontinence UK are perfectly positioned to provide all of the advice, support and assistance you require in dealing with your incontinence.

Visit the Incontinence UK site today and explore all of the fantastic incontinence products designed to improve your quality of life and help you to deal with incontinence comfortably and discreetly.
