East Kent Hospital University Foundation Trust (EKHUFT) Case Study

East Kent University Foundation Trust during the Coronavirus pandemic needed additional radio equipment to add to their existing system supplied by DCRS.

We were available to offer an extension on their original equipment requirements to give greater communication resilience to EKHUFT. They decided to hire 16 x DP4600 radios for the William Harvey Hospital to use in their emergency department and COVID-19 wards and the same was provided for the Queen Mother Hospital. They also decided to purchase an additional 8 x DP4400 radios for William Harvey Hospital.

Nick May is the Emergency Planning Office for the Trust he said:

As per normal, communication was clear and detailed and checked if any concerns by DCRS to ensure accuracy of order and to ensure a delay free service. DCRS provided a fast, efficient service, they are always very helpful when contacted. Since I having been dealing with DCRS I have always found all in the company that I have dealt with to be very professional in their approach, as well as being friendly and keen to ensure that EKHUFT have received the service we have required.

Even at the height of the COVID virus we contacted the support staff and they were  especially helpful recently during the current pandemic, when I have contacted DCRS at short notice for additional stock… the approach of… let’s get it done, let’s get you what you need as quickly as we can and we can iron any fine detail later.’

EKHUFT was one of many NHS sites that DCRS are proud to have supported at their greatest time of need, many systems have been purchased and hired at short notice using our vast stock of Mototrbo hire equipment and next delivery on most Radio manufacturers products
