We recently completed an installation of a Bespoke Synergy straight stairlift.

The design is slimline, with a folding seat and compact rail, which helps keep the staircase as open and usable as possible for other members of the household.

Installations like this are all about finding practical ways to support day-to-day mobility while working within the existing home layout.

Yesterday, we celebrated Keith as he finished his final day with us and began his retirement.

Keith’s time in this building spans an incredible 44 years. He spent 32 years here, first at Pugh's Plumbers Merchants and then for the last 12 years as part of the Healthcare Matters team. That kind of loyalty to one place is truly rare, and it has been a privilege to have him with us.

Keith has been a familiar face here for decades, and it is hard to imagine this place without him. He brought not only hard work and dedication but also a great deal of character. Known affectionately as our “pigeon man”, Keith has shared his passion with us all… and of course, kept everyone on their toes, even if he was usually the one jumping thanks to a well timed scare.

It will not be the same without him walking through the door each day. His humour, his presence, and the little moments he brought to the team will be deeply missed.

Keith, thank you for everything you have given. We hope retirement brings you all the time in the world to enjoy what you love most.

Eat. Sleep. Pigeon. Repeat.

Wishing you a long, happy and well deserved retirement.

A ramp designed with real-life use in mind 👇

Every installation is about more than just access from A to B. It’s about safety, comfort, and making sure the solution works for everyone who uses the space.

For this recent install, we included:

• Mesh platform – allows water to drain through, helping keep the surface safer in all weather
• Trombone ends – designed to reduce the risk of clothing catching
• Supportive handrails – giving users confidence and stability every step of the way
• Durable powder-coated finish – non-slip, hard-wearing, and built to last
• Adjustable telescopic legs – ensuring the perfect fit for the property
• Step & Gate Unit – access for users who are more comfortable with steps

From first enquiry to fully installed stairlift in under 48 hours!

When mobility needs change quickly, waiting isn’t always an option. This week, our team helped a customer get a rental stairlift installed in just two days, making their home safe, accessible, and stress-free again.

A fast turnaround like this helps people stay independent at home when it matters most.

A huge well done to the team for pulling this together so quickly 👏

If you or someone you know needs urgent or short-term mobility support, please get in touch. We are always happy to help.

Safe bathing and changing support can make everyday care much easier.

The right equipment can help improve comfort, protect dignity, and make routines safer for both the person receiving care and the person supporting them.

If bathing or changing is becoming more difficult, we can help talk through practical options.

Signs that a standard chair may no longer be enough:
• difficulty standing up
• poor posture or discomfort
• needing more support through the day
• sitting for long periods becomes uncomfortable

The right seating can make a real difference to comfort and confidence.

If you’d like advice, just ask.

We recently had the pleasure of hosting a training day for Occupational Therapists, with our own seating assessors leading the session and sharing their practical experience around seating assessments.

We really value the close relationships we’ve built with OTs. Working together in this way means we can combine clinical knowledge with specialist seating expertise to ensure people get the right support, comfort, and outcomes.

It’s always a real team effort; the OT, our team, and most importantly, the client or patient we are all working to support.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the day. We really enjoy opportunities like this to share knowledge, learn from each other, and continue strengthening these relationships.

Could the right chair make daily life easier?

A supportive chair can improve comfort, posture, confidence, and help with getting in and out of a chair more safely.

If a standard chair is becoming uncomfortable or difficult to use, specialist seating may help make everyday life much more manageable.

We’re happy to talk through options.

Portable ramp or fixed ramp, what’s the difference?

A portable ramp can be useful for flexible or temporary support. A more permanent ramp may be better where longer-term, tailored access is needed.

If you’re not sure what would work best, that’s exactly what we’re here for.

We’re always happy to talk through the options in plain English.

At Healthcare Matters, we believe safe, dignified access to buildings should be a standard- not an afterthought.

A recent news story has again highlighted the barriers disabled people can still face when trying to access hospitality venues safely and confidently. Experiences like this are a reminder that accessibility is not just about policy- it’s about planning, inclusion, and creating environments where everyone feels welcome.

We support the hospitality sector with practical access solutions, including a strong focus on Modular systems, helping venues improve access in a way that is safe, effective, and adaptable.

Whether it’s a hotel, pub, restaurant, bar, café or event space, the right ramp solution can make a meaningful difference for wheelchair users, people with limited mobility, and anyone who benefits from easier building access.

At Healthcare Matters, our aim is to help venues create safer, more inclusive entrances with access solutions that work in the real world- balancing usability, compliance, and the day-to-day needs of busy hospitality environments.

Because better access doesn’t just support compliance. It shows care, respect, and a commitment to making spaces open to everyone.
