Portable Equipment
Increasingly we seem to take our work with us and are more mobile than ever. Like many other organisations, medical organisations need to utilise portable equipment and as it seems that much of equipment is considerably expensive in the first place, having to replace it unexpectedly when it is stolen or damaged is where most organisations face problems. Sadly, theft of portable equipment (including medical equipment) has become a common occurrence these days, and that’s exactly why you need portable equipment insurance. With a portable equipment insurance policy in place (depending on the limit you choose), all the portable equipment will be covered, whether owned or leased, in the event of a theft, or even for accidental damage or loss. This allows you to quickly get the equipment replaced, as you are financially compensated, to ensure disruptions are kept to a minimum. Some of the common portable equipment that we cover include the following:
- Mannequins
- Laptops/Tablets/Mobile Phones
- Medical bag (with the medical equipment)
- AEDs
