The Client

Company Name: Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust
Service Type: Community Healthcare NHS Trust
Product Purchased: 4 x M2 Bladder Scanners

Overview

Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust provides a wide range of community healthcare services across London and surrounding areas, supporting patients across multiple care settings including community services, rehabilitation, nursing, and specialist clinical teams.

As part of efforts to improve access to bedside assessment tools and support frontline clinical decision-making, the Trust introduced portable bladder scanning technology through Oras Medical.

The Challenge

Community healthcare teams frequently assess patients outside of traditional hospital environments, where immediate access to diagnostic equipment may be limited.

This can create challenges such as:

  • Delays in patient assessment
  • Unnecessary referrals or hospital attendance
  • Increased pressure on community clinicians
  • Difficulty obtaining rapid objective information at the point of care

For services supporting elderly, vulnerable, and complex patients, having access to practical bedside diagnostic tools can help improve assessment pathways and clinical confidence.

The Solution

Oras Medical supplied:

  • Four portable bladder scanners

The systems were introduced to support point-of-care bladder volume assessment within community healthcare settings.

Portable bladder scanners provide clinicians with a non-invasive method of assessing bladder volume, helping support decision-making around urinary retention, continence management, and patient monitoring.

The devices were selected for their portability, ease of use, and suitability for frontline clinical environments.

Outcome & Impact

The introduction of portable bladder scanning technology supports:

  • Faster patient assessment
