Over the past 25 years we’ve supplied water birth pools to hundreds of hospitals throughout the UK and abroad.
We have been instrumental in pioneering the use of water for labour and birth and have helped hundreds of thousands of mothers and babies to have a better experience of birth.
In fact 87% of UK hospitals that have installed water births pool have chosen one of ours?
Here's why:
The NHS has a dual strategy of attaining best value and the cheapest price for goods and services. However, the two are often incompatible. Many trusts have opted for the cheapest birthing pool or modified bath, as they feel they cannot justify spending more.
Spending more at the time of purchase can make a considerable difference, as that additional investment can translate into a much longer working life. Consideration of whole life cycle costs is a crucially important factor when choosing a water birth pool.
Strategic procurement planning will help trusts to make rational justifications for choosing higher end, higher value water birth pools, because they will outlast and outperform cheaper alternatives.
