What are your equipment challenges?

• Meeting cost improvement targets for medical equipment
  Unlock savings

  Asteral provides a range of bespoke solutions that are designed to reduce the cost of acquiring, managing and maintaining high value medical equipment.
  
  Our services cater for all clinical and financial requirements, with a common goal of providing our customers with a safe, affordable and productive equipment portfolio that delivers superior clinical outcomes and an enhanced patient experience.
  
  
• Improving the performance of your medical equipment estate over the long-term
  Enhance outcomes

  Operating in true strategic partnership with our customers, we apply clinical, technical and commercial expertise to develop a bespoke equipment management programme that delivers measurable efficiency savings.
  
  As the leading vendor-independent provider of Managed Equipment Services (MES), we apply established principles and best practice to deliver a high performing equipment estate that meets clinical and financial requirements both now and in the future.
  
  
• Replacing ageing assets or building additional equipment capacity to meet patient demand
  Reduce whole-life costs

  With capital in short supply, Asteral offers an alternative way of acquiring new technology.
  
  We facilitate the procurement, management and maintenance of high value Diagnostic Imaging and Oncology assets through a flexible and scalable revenue solution. Requiring no upfront capital investment, our full-service arrangement carries a significantly lower whole-life cost than capital purchase or leasing with life-time maintenance.
  
  
• Removing the burden of managing multiple equipment maintenance suppliers
  Simplify arrangements

  Ensuring that the medical equipment estate is both safe and operational is a critical but time-consuming task.
  
  Asteral can streamline this process for clinical staff by centralising the management of all maintenance providers. Alongside significant cost savings on your existing maintenance contracts, we ensure that you continue to receive the best possible service by only using engineers and spare parts from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
  
  
• Gaining a better understanding of the condition and utilisation of your equipment portfolio
  Inform decision-making

  As all healthcare providers seek to identify measurable efficiency savings and new revenue opportunities in a more competitive market, it is critical to ensure that the existing equipment estate is safe and fully utilised.
  
  Through detailed review and assessment of your existing portfolio, our independent team will provide strategic guidance on how your equipment and services could operate more efficiently – reducing costs and boosting productivity.
  
  
• Extracting value from old or redundant assets and disposing of them safely
  Generate revenue

  With over £80M of our own retained assets, Asteral fully understands the need to generate commercial value from redundant medical equipment whilst appropriately managing any associated risk.
  
  That is why we offer an MHRA-compliant remarketing service that purchases your equipment outright, ensuring that you receive excellent financial returns on your old equipment, with the added reassurance that you hold no future liability.
