Triple Point Investment Management has increased the financial support it provides to the NHS, to help the service accelerate the procurement of vital equipment it needs amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

As part of its broader strategy to relieve funding pressures in the public and private sectors, Triple Point Investment has already financed and supplied medical equipment used in 103 NHS trusts nationwide.

Medical assets financed for the NHS by Triple Point Investment, currently worth more than £118 million, includes more than 2,000 hospital beds, sterilising equipment, more than 800 infusion pumps and one modular hospital building.

In addition, Triple Point Investment has helped finance eight ventilators for the intensive trauma unit at a regional county hospital.   

Triple Point Investment also manages one of the largest fleets of ambulances in the UK, with almost 400 of its accident and emergency vehicles in near constant use by its NHS lessees. 

A similar number of specialist patient transport vehicles are now being re-purposed by Triple Point Investment to provide critical frontline services; these vehicles are all fitted with on-board patient ventilators.

Caroline Davis, senior account manager at Triple Point Investment, commented: “It’s an honour to be able to step up our support to the NHS at such a critical time. Our finance can hasten procurements forward, reduce capex strain and enable our amazing front-line health professionals to provide the care needed now more than ever.”

She added: “We will strive to make sure that our world class health service has the necessary resources to operate to the best of its ability, so it can carry on saving lives.”
