Community equipment provider changes - important update
You may be aware from the national press about changes to the provision of community equipment through NRS Healthcare Limited. From Friday 1 August 2025 Medequip Assistive Technology Limited will be the new community equipment provider for Hillingdon.
Medequip is providing a service to Hillingdon's residents at short notice and for a limited period it will only be possible for them to provide equipment to prevent hospital admissions and support hospital discharges. They will also repair equipment already supplied by NRS to residents living in the community.
The change of equipment service provider does not mean that any equipment that you have that was supplied by NRS will be taken away. If you have an existing piece of equipment supplied by NRS that requires a repair, you can contact Medequip on 020 8750 1580.
Use the self assessment tools available on Living Made Easy to see if you would benefit from equipment in your home.
You can also:
request an assessment and if you are eligible to receive equipment you will receive a loan of equipment from Medequip, our new community equipment provider.
If you think you or someone you care for would benefit from home monitoring, read about our TeleCareLine service.
