Project MOVE

Another successful project completed.

Project MOVE On The Road to Deliver
Extra NHS Capacity
A Multi-Functional Clinical Platform for Buses
Thursday, February 11, 2021 : 40two, the solutions design company, today announced the
launch of the world’s most innovative system of mobile clinical treatment bays.
The turnkey bus kits, designed to provide a quick way for local authorities to respond to the
increased demands brought on by the COVID pandemic, as well as for future requirements
such as boosters, can be easily installed into a city bus in less than a day by bus company
mechanics – requiring no special knowledge from users to set up and deploy.
Once installed, Project MOVE bus kits provide 3x the capacity over other common solutions
currently in use and should deliver up to 865 tests or 540 vaccinations per bus per day.
“At 40two we work exclusively with public sector customers across the UK and, after the first
lockdown, we wanted to do something to help get people back to work, which could also be
rolled out quickly and cost-effectively.” said David Brown, a Partner at 40two and Project
MOVE’s Managing Director.
The NHS Confederation estimated that the NHS waiting list could be as high as 10M at the
start of 2021 and also added that healthcare services were operating at a reduced capacity
of about 60% because of infection control measures. Project MOVE’s bus kits will help alleviate this backlog of demand for services – particularly in rural and remote areas – without
requiring patients to travel long distances and put themselves at unnecessary risk.
Fully functioning, production ready bays have been installed in a Mercedes Citaro bus
provided by Oxford Bus Company and will be used in a series of live demonstrations over
the next few weeks in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire to show suitability across a variety
of use cases including lateral flow testing and administering vaccines to the public.
