The organisation supplies medical equipment and fits devices to patients, for the NHS and independent hospitals. The provider registered with Care Quality Commission (CQC) in November 2020.

The organisation supplies devices for adults and children.

The provider has one location but operates across the UK nationally. This was the first inspection since registration.

It was a focused inspection to determine if the service was carrying out regulated activities within the CQC Scope of Registration. A full inspection will be carried out in due course.

The location has not previously been inspected. This was a focused inspection to clarify the regulated activities that the service was delivering.

• We saw examples of when the managing director advised clinicians on the interpretation of the data from the continuous heart monitoring device.
• Staff were trained and competent for identified devices. Some were required to fit the wearable defibrillators, in hospital settings and signposted patients to appropriate support when needed.
• Evidence reviewed indicated that the service was supporting patients’ treatment pathways in ways that were consistent with a service that was carrying on activities that amounted to registrable regulated activities falling within the scope of registration..
