Moving, handling and bathing specialists Prism Medical UK have today announced they are to offer Occupational Therapy services to their Local Authority and independent care home clients. In response to increasing levels of customer requests, Wakefield based Prism have entered into a strategic partnership with Able 2 – a specialist Occupational Therapy service provider.

The partnership will provide increased flexibility and responsiveness to the ever increasing demands stipulated by both Authorities and care homes. It is envisaged the service will assist clients with short and long term OT planning requirements, to help them achieve a nil waiting list. The service provides complete case management from initial assessment to final inspection and is delivered by Able 2’s team of experienced Occupational Therapists.

Prism Medical UK have been increasing their product and service offerings in recent years through investment in new product development and growing a network of strategic partnerships in areas such as beds, pressure relieving mattresses, assisted baths, stairlifts and through floor lifts. The partnership with Able 2 signals Prism’s intention to provide a wide range of products and services through a ‘one stop shop’ to clients.

Managing Director, Marshall Reid said: “For some time, we have been looking at ways to assist our clients make savings with their OT planning requirements. We are delighted to have the opportunity to develop a partnership with Able 2 with their long standing reputation for helping Authorities and other organisations within the care sector achieve their targets. With the addition of a full OT provision, we now more than ever provide a fully rounded service ensuring that both our care sector customers and end users receive a premium quality, yet cost effective solution.”

Madeleine Butler, Able 2 Managing Director added: “Able 2 is delighted to form this partnership with Prism Medical. We have been looking to widen the range of products and services we offer our clients for some time. Prism Medical provides us with a highly professional partner who has a comprehensive range of products which can be designed for general or for individual needs. Authorities need to be delivering their services to an increasingly elderly and disabled population. I believe this partnership will enable Able 2 to deliver our Occupational Therapy services in the most efficient and cost effective way.”
