Huntleigh donates Easter Eggs after theft Huntleigh are happy to have donated Easter eggs after the original ones destined for maternity staff at Cardiff and Vale University Health Board were stolen from the car of the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) Cardiff Branch Secretary, Sarah Spencer, last month. Darren Meilak, Huntleigh Healthcare’s Global Head of Marketing. “I saw Sarah’s tweet that her car had been broken into, I obviously felt for her – it’s an awful situation to find yourself in. What really hit home, though, was the fact that it wasn’t the stolen designer sunglasses that she was most upset about, but the Easter eggs she had ready for her team. These were meant for all the midwives and support staff working over the Easter period,” said Darren. “At a time when those involved in the NHS are under immense pressure, the thought that those so worthy of our gratitude were going to lose out on a little pick me up, galvanised us at Huntleigh to see how we could help.” The replacement eggs were presented to Sarah by Darren and Huntleigh’s Product Manager, Stacey Tyler. The eggs will be shared among the maternity staff as a treat for working over the Easter weekend, and they are all waiting eggspectantly for them. Sarah said she was delighted to go and collect them and that Huntleigh Healthcare had not only upgraded the eggs to bigger ones, but actually given them even more, upping the number of stolen eggs to 65. “The small gestures make all the difference during these times. And it reminds us that there are really kind people out there,” she added.

The LCIP provides support both to the clinical team and members through company representatives visits. Being able to understand their needs and then discuss directly with the healthcare industry, helps to keep members’ views at the forefront of wound/compression development.

Huntleigh presented the Queen's Award for Innovation HUNTLEIGH HEALTHCARE – A Member of the Arjo family It was another proud day for all staff at Huntleigh in Cardiff last week as we welcomed local dignitaries, customers and networking partners from across the UK to join us for our official Queen’s Award Presentation Ceremony. Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of South Glamorgan, Morfudd Meredith who formally presented the award to Huntleigh said, “ I was delighted to recently present Huntleigh Healthcare Limited with The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in recognition of its new range of digital handheld Dopplers and its outstanding performance in the field of innovation. It was a privilege to be shown around its Cardiff premises by Peter Cashin the Managing Director and to learn more about the company’s exciting and pioneering work and in particular to meet some of the staff who must be very proud of their achievements. The excellent presentations from staff and clinicians provided a further fascinating insight into the company and its work and I was pleased to note that the company is in the process of developing other world class products also. The company has demonstrated true excellence in what it does, providing inspiration for others. I wish Huntleigh Healthcare Limited continued success and I hope that the Queen’s Award for Enterprise will help to provide the company with new opportunities”. Innovative features in the new products help clinicians to make quicker and more accurate assessments providing benefits to both user and patient. Peter Cashin Managing Director spoke of how good design can improve patient care and clinical effectiveness “features we have introduced such as the high resolution colour display represent a first for handheld Dopplers. This allows clinicians to clearly see vascular waveforms as well as hear digital audio sounds. In the Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) version the FHR data is displayed in high visibility large numbers and recorded digitally as a waveform for archiving and review ” In his speech Ken Poole Head of Economic Development at Cardiff Council congratulated Huntleigh on its achievements, applauding the fact that ‘’ Huntleigh has been creating high quality job opportunities in south Cardiff for 40 years and we certainly hope from a Cardiff Council perspective they will continue to provide new sustainable employment opportunities for our local communities . The company is also a great example of a manufacturing business in our Capital City which has survived and thrived in the competitive global export market through the high quality design and manufacture of innovative products in the healthcare space ‘’. The event was also an ideal opportunity to present the Tenovus Cancer Care charity with £7500 raised through various activities involving all the staff at the site over the last year in recognition of the charities 75th birthday.
