Specialist mobile accommodation provider EMS Healthcare has won a major contract that will create the UK’s biggest mobile dental clinic and mean ‘business as usual’ for hundreds of patients in Somerset.

This month, seven mobile medical trailers will arrive on site in Bridgwater and be connected to form a temporary, state-of-the-art dental trailer while the ADP dental practice building nearby undergoes extensive refurbishment work.

ADP – one of the UK’s largest dental practices with more than 130 clinics across the UK – looked to EMS Healthcare to provide an innovative, patient-focussed solution that would enable practitioners to maintain high clinical standards as conveniently as possible throughout the 13-week refurbishment project.

EMS’ readymade mobile clinic vehicles provide a fast, no-fuss solution for healthcare providers needing temporary medical accommodation. At Bridgwater, two twin Liberty mobile units and one Liberty Plus triple mobile trailer will be sited opposite ADP’s practice, enabling the continuation of a normal service for its 500 patients.

Donna Turton at ADP said:
“It’s imperative that there is no disruption to service and that our patients aren’t inconvenienced while we’re upgrading our premises – and EMS Healthcare was able to offer us the perfect solution.

“We were impressed not only by the simplicity of their solution, but also the quality of the clinical environments provided in these mobile units. We are confident that we’re going to be able to maintain our extremely high standards and provide a normal, professional service during the refurbishment project.”

No major construction work is required to prepare the site. All the dental trailers will be driven to their new location and connected to create three standalone units within 48 hours.
The temporary dental trailer will have eight treatment rooms and a sterilisation room; offices, staff areas and a kitchen; disabled and staff toilets. It will be fully air-conditioned, with full disabled access, a fire and intruder alarm system, external floodlighting and CCTV facilities for added security.

Once the building project is complete, the dental vehicles will simply be disconnected and driven away. Keith Austin, Partner in EMS Healthcare said: “It really is that simple. Creating a temporary healthcare environment even of this size is not a problem using our innovative, vehicle-based solutions – they really are proving to be a time efficient and cost effective answer for anyone needing temporary clinical accommodation that provides a quality, effective environment for practitioners and a comfortable and welcoming experience for patients.
