Experience

ORWOODS staff have extensive experience (over the last 20 years) of professionally assessing mobility & independent living needs - working closely with users, Disability Living Centres and other healthcare professionals - and of manufacturing and supplying standard and non-standard specifications of bed solutions accordingly.

From the point of launch of the business, ORWOODS have always been registered manufacturers of medical devices with the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (‘MHRA’). This registration is by no means ‘just a label’, and the MHRA is not a simple ‘pay-to-join’ trade association.

Registration is not open to ‘just anyone’: only manufacturers of products which qualify - on quality grounds - as medical devices are eligible to register, at which point registration immediately becomes compulsory, bringing with it a substantial regulated system of product design and manufacture quality control which acknowledges and reflects the quality expectations of dependent and vulnerable users of such equipment.

It is a necessary consequence of the way in which the legislation works that:

ONLY true manufacturers of healthcare products are registered with MHRA
ALL true manufacturers of healthcare products (including specifically adjustable beds) MUST be registered with MHRA; and therefore manufacturers who are not registered with MHRA are NOT true manufacturers of healthcare products at all
