You don’t have to look far to see the growth we have exhibited over the years.
Our product range has expanded from stethoscopes and general first aid
supplies for the pre-hospital care market, to emergency medical equipment,
haemostats, and consumables for all stages of medical support. With the
introduction of manufacturing 13 years ago DS Medical is able to provide a
range of Response Bags that many of the leading NHS Ambulance Trusts and
other institutions utilise on their vehicles and for their personnel, making DS
Medical one of the leading suppliers of medical care products in the UK.
Since 1979, attention to detail and customer care have been core values
held by DS Medical. Over the years we have developed close bonds with
numerable institutions, NHS, Fire, Police, Maritime, and Industry, enabling us to
add to our expertise, understanding and support of client requirements within
the emergency services industry.
Increased long-standing supplier relationships with renowned global
manufacturers leave us confident that our consumers can rely on us for
products that ensure excellent patient care.
In our 42 years of business, our primary focus has never wavered from our
customers’ needs. Aiming to deliver the best customer care, our four decades
of medical expertise, industry knowledge and our in-house clinician means we
are able to do just that.
