History and Philosophy.

Nordic Care Services Ltd (NCS), based in Canterbury, Kent, was formed as a partnership in 1998 by Sonja Waara-Conway, BSc, MA., the current Managing Director, and became a limited company in 2002. After completing her university education in Umea, Sweden, Sonja spent 25 years pursuing an international career in administration and finance before settling in England in 1993. Having conducted a comparison of health care strategies in Sweden and the UK, Sonja was struck by the relative lack of development of fall prevention interventions in the UK whereas considerable resources had been devoted to this area over many years in Sweden. Fall prevention initiatives and associated simple moving and handling innovations have remained at the core of NCS interests and partnerships have been formed with the major Swedish manufacturers in order to make appropriate, cost-effective equipment available to the British health care consumer.

NCS does not employ a sales force nor does it operate from expensive high street premises. Instead the NCS philosophy is based upon the provision of a personal information and advisory service to private individuals and health care professionals to enable them to make an informed choice from a range of proven, high-quality, Swedish commercial products. This approach is reinforced by an ongoing programme of workshops/seminars on the Swedish strategy for fall prevention and moving and handling innovation conducted at the request of groups of healthcare professionals, e.g. occupational therapists, physiotherapists, etc
