Testimonials
Our clients’ testimonials speak volumes about our services and commitment. Get an insight into their experiences.
During his role as Contracts Compliance and Equipment Manager at UHS, Richard played a pivotal part in supporting us with the development of the critical care transfer stack, a Class I medical device.
As a company new to the medical sector, Portsmouth Aviation initially had limited understanding of the stringent requirements and challenges of the healthcare environment. Richard’s extensive experience and deep knowledge were instrumental in guiding the project from early prototypes through to a robust, optimised product, one that meets the demanding needs of both continuous use and end users in a clinical setting.
Richard’s proactive approach, clear communication, and willingness to provide detailed feedback on design considerations greatly enhanced the development process. He also facilitated valuable access to personnel and departments for usability testing, which proved key to the project’s success.
Always approachable, professional, and cheerful, Richard was a pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and collaborative professional, whether as an employee or a consultant.

More recently he has offered us third party evaluations and reports to help with existing and developing products in this area. His work has been extremely useful to assist with the regulatory requirements of CE marking to the Medical Device Directive and usability studies to ensure compliance and user friendliness.
His service has been professional and cost effective; this coupled with Richard’s straight talking approach has proven to be a valuable new contracted service to Bedfont.
As part of the design and product development process at Intersurgical it is essential for us to gain impartial clinical feedback regarding up to date working practices in the NHS, we have on many occasions requested advise and product assessment/evaluations from Richard Scott.

He has a commercial awareness of company’s requirement to meet relevant BS and ISO standards. We would not hesitate in recommending him in the evaluation of clinical medical equipment relevant to Intensive Care Units.
