Since the 1980s, the Gainsborough Healthcare Group (GSB) has remained at the forefront of accessible bathing. Its latest Gateway scheme represents a breakthrough in service to complement its power-assisted bathing solutions, and is offered to all new clients when purchasing a bath from the new Gainsborough Bio range. These products offer clinical excellence and ergonomics, ensuring care and safety are maximised. Engineered with BioCote antimicrobial protection, the Gentona, Ezion, Torin, Talano, Oraya and Sentes baths are all now supplied with free Gainsborough Gateway membership.

 By partnering with Gainsborough, all Bio bath clients gain access to a personalised online portal, which includes bath training videos and safety certificates, plus maintenance alerts, technical downloads, professional and specialist advice blogs, and fast-track service and training booking. The scheme also offers manageable payments through finance, and reduced costs with complimentary 3-year servicing and LOLER testing. There’s also a 3-year warranty, utility cost savings and advice for better CQC ratings, in addition to enhanced infection control. For carers, the advantages include access to high-quality training, safer working practices, greater hygiene and infection protection, as well as improving engagement with residents. Peter Eckhardt, Gainsborough Healthcare Group CEO, stressed that the portal assets will continually develop to help care home and rehab facilities strengthen their CQC ratings. He said: ‘Our new Gainsborough Gateway represents a breakthrough in specialist bath provision.

 No longer are we supplying just baths; we are delivering  a holistic added-value package that includes free training, advice and servicing. All healthcare providers now have the opportunity to benefit from this complete offering, which will reduce costs, save time and enhance care sustainability. We are proud once again to reaffirm our position as thought leaders in the industry and encourage all procurement professionals to enter this next-generation approach.’ This latest development reiterates how Gainsborough has evolved from a bath manufacturing specialist to a complete 360-degree solution provider. The company has also launched its new costoptimise  Pro range.
