Customer Service
Over the past few years, the business has grown significantly; however, our family business ethos remains unchanged and is reflected in the care we provide to our patients, people, and products. Our core philosophy is to consistently offer the best overall value to our customers, balancing clinical outcomes with cost-effectiveness. We continually strive to align with our customers’ objectives by delivering the highest quality, innovative solutions.

IMS Timeline
Charities we support
The RMCC charity helps fund life-saving research, offers patients world-leading treatment and care, invests in state-of-the-art equipment, and funds modern patient environments.
Children’s Burns Trust is small national charity working to reduce burn injuries to children and young people and support burn survivors and their families. A burn injury happens in the blink of any eye; the impact can be lifelong.
Giving Back to our Local Communities
At Ideal Medical Solutions we believe in the importance of supporting Charities that make a huge difference to the local communities. We offer every employee the opportunity to take 1 day out of work each year to support a Charity of their choice.
Local Food Bank Collection
At Christmas, the IMS team volunteers to collect donations for our local food bank. With 1 in 5 people in the UK living below the poverty line, supporting food banks is more important than ever.
We have proudly done this for the past two years and are committed to continuing this tradition well into the future.
