Following the purchase by BAKPA of 2 Bariatric Chairs, and after some delay, the chairs have now been delivered, and are in use within the Dialysis unit at Southmead.
Described as a large Bariatric treatment chair with the comfort of a bed, they can each take a weight of up to 250 kgs.
We hope for those patients who need these chairs it will make having to sit on dialysis a much more comfortable time.
During a visit by some members of the committee, we were informed that the chairs are a worthy addition and are in use daily.
