Meet Our Medical Equipment Library Team.
Our Medical Equipment Library provides clinicians with 24/7 access to over 1,000 essential medical devices per month – from syringe drivers, to IV pumps.
The Library team are based in our Medical Engineering Department, at our Blackpool Victoria Hospital site.
From here, they loan and collect essential medical devices from the wards, departments across our footprint, as well as ensuring they are decontaminated, and made ready for re-circulation.
They also audit devices round our clients’ wards and departments, to make sure the devices are on the correct patients they were loaned for.
As well as being on hand to deal with any enquires the clinical staff may have.
Medical Equipment Library Team Leader, Emma Bradshaw, Said: "To know we can help the Trust’s patients, by ensuring clinicians have access to the devices they need, gives a great sense of purpose to the role."
One of the latest recruits to the team is Medical Equipment Library Support Worker, Becky Harvey.
Becky said: “It is great to have joined Atlas. I feel the work we do in the Medical Equipment Library is really important for our clients, and their patients.
By ensuring the prompt delivery and collection of essential medical equipment, from clinical areas within Blackpool Victoria Hospital and other locations, we can play our part in the patient care journey."
