Beds have an unbeatable service record, meet all current Health & Safety, Manual Handling and Infection Control requirements and eliminate the need for ward staff to trundle makeshift beds to and fro and make them up/unmake them each evening/morning. This leads to substantial cost savings over time, including reduced laundry bills, as well as various Health & Safety and Manual Handling benefits.

Because ‘WISKAWAY’® Wall Beds are counterbalanced, they need to be fixed to the wall.

Already a customer for our wallbeds, Addenbrookes' were the launch Hospital customer for our Vertical 'WISKAWAY'® 7500H model, when 16 of these Parents’ Wall Beds (illustrated here), were installed on the Paediatric Oncology Ward (C2), in 1993. 24 years later, they are still going strong!

In addition to supplying and installing our wallbeds, we offer a full after-sales service and the beds shown here have been serviced a number of times, by us, over the years. A combination of unbeatable durability and periodic maintenance have ensured that Addenbrookes are getting the maximum possible value from their ‘WISKAWAY’® 7500H Parents’ Wall Beds.

The first 16 'WISKAWAY'® 7500H Wall Beds proved such a success, that more were ordered for Ward C2 and for several other Paediatric Wards (C3 and D2), as well as for the adult Oncology Ward (D10) and, more recently, for the new Paediatric Assessment Unit and for Ward F3.

There are now more than 60 'WISKAWAY'® 7500H Wall Beds in service at Addenbrookes and hundreds more on Children’s Wards and in Children’s Hospitals up and down the country. This model has become the favourite choice with our many Hospital customers, for the Parents' wallbed application and is also popular for use in Hospices.

Addenbrookes currently also have a number of our Horizontal 'WISKAWAY'® 6000H Wall Beds in service, additionally use a special version of our double ‘NEAT-A-WARD’® Patient Wall Bed (in their Rosie Maternity Hospital) and also use our ‘GLIDEAWAY’® Guest Bed.











A current requirement in Children's Hospitals is to provide overnight accommodation for at least one parent, as near as possible to the child's bed.

Various types of space-saving bed have been employed over the years for this purpose, but the ultimate solution to the problem of where to put parents, is a ‘WISKAWAY’® Wall Bed.

GP Care Systems are the country's leading supplier of wallbeds and related furniture for Hospitals and Hospices.

Specifically designed for daily, heavy-duty use, GP Care Systems' range of high performance, all-steel, Horizontal and Vertical 'WISKAWAY'® Wall Beds for Hospitals and Hospices, are fully counterbalanced and fitted with automatically opening and retracting legs, for safe, smooth and easy operation.

‘WISKAWAY’® Wall beds come with a FULL 5 YEAR GUARANTEE. Single ‘WISKAWAY’® Wall Beds will comfortably handle loads of up to 200Kg and doubles can easily cope with up to 400Kg.

'WISKAWAY'® Wall Beds are designed for heavy-duty use every night and can be made-up and folded away, complete with all the bedding, including the pillows, in literally seconds (in an emergency for instance). This leaves the space taken up by the bed during the night free for use by patients, visitors and staff and the area tidy and easy to keep clean, during the day.

At night, the bed can be folded down and ready to use in seconds and offers the same standard of comfort and convenience as a good quality conventional divan bed.
