Healthcare Furniture. Enhancing Lives

Here at Caremed Alrick UK, we have been working with the NHS, Care Homes, Private Hospitals and OT's and Therapists for over 14 years both selling and renting out our healthcare furniture.

We pride ourselves on not only providing excellent quality products, but also servicing and repairing the equipment we provide, so they continue to help patients and healthcare professionals alike.

Here's an introduction to the Caremed Team!
