Sean Miller, Estates Manager, Dorset County Hospital

Derek Goodman, Construction Manager, Avery Healthcare
"We are delighted to be working with DDC Dolphin for the complete package of machine acquisitions, installation and training. DDC Dolphin's understanding of the importance of fighting the transmission of HCAIs, together with their completely hands-free, high-quality range of macerators, helped to make our decision much easier. The programme of hassle-free installation and comprehensive staff training was an added bonus!"
Tony Lobo, Project Manager, The London Clinic
"Barchester has always tried to ensure that it builds solid, long-term relationships with its service partners that match the high standards of care and support that it then delivers for its residents.

The relationship is strong and I'm sure it will continue long into the future."
Bill Wilson, Director of Property Services, Barchester Healthcare

Prentice Lloyd, Project Manager, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital

“Our relationship with DDC Dolphin goes from strength to strength. We were glad to support DDC Dolphin with the commissioning and testing of the Pulpmatic Eco and we were all delighted with the outcome. We already have a number of their Pulpmatic macerators in the hospital which are supported and maintained by DDC Dolphin and will be adding the new model to our inventory.”
Geoff Walford, Estates Manager, FES Facilities Management

“Following a successful partnership with DDC Dolphin in the provision of our sluice equipment at Vida Hall, Vida Healthcare Limited were pleased to appoint DDC as the preferred company to provide this equipment at our new facility in Pannal. This decision was based on the quality, reliability and ease of use of the equipment at Vida Hall, plus the excellent aftersales service that we have always experienced from DDC Dolphin.”
Jillian Young, Operations Director, Vida Healthcare
“DDC Dolphin had a very good approach to accommodate our needs and were able to provide us with macerators configured to prevent the majority of the failures we had been experiencing with blockages and floods. They also offered additional features to help avoid operator errors. After installing the trial units, both the users and the maintenance staff have been very pleased with their smooth operation which has been failure-free and with no impact on either operational or maintenance staff.”
Stefan Manea, Technical Coordinator, Fraser Health Authority, Canada
“We were initially considering the traditional bedpan sanitizers but after much consideration in regard to the cost and benefits it could bring us, we decided to go for DDC Dolphin macerators. We have made the right choice. The machine is very easy to use, hands-free and with no blockages! We are very happy and glad to have NEU Industries providing their excellent service to us. I would highly recommend using DDC Dolphin macerators and pulp items supplied by NEU Industries for any dirty utility room.”
Badli Shah, Senior Nurse Manager, Farrer Park Hospital
“From an Infection Prevention & Control perspective, I have experienced the use of DDC Dolphin macerators in our long-term care facilities. The system is very simple to use and provides a clean, green resource for disposal of human waste utensils. The macerators help to prevent any cross-contamination during outbreaks and staff really like the fact that they do not have to perform any pre-cleaning that could expose them to organisms such as C. difficile.
Staff find it very beneficial that this system is completely handsfree, decreasing the risk for transmission of microorganisms. We had a Norovirus outbreak on this unit recently and compared to last year with no macerator available on this unit, the population affected was much lower.”
Ann Marie Penney, Infection Control Practitioner, Eastern Health, Canada
“We would like to take this opportunity to recommend this product to anyone who is looking to replace or renew their washer disinfectors or thermal sanitisers. We have found the DDC Dolphin Optima 2 thermal sanitisers to be very water and energy efficient, as well as compact, allowing us to make not only the best use but more use of our available space. DDC Dolphin produced excellent brochures and detailed information, everything was of good quality and the size and pricing for the washer disinfectors was perfect, not only for our usage needs, but also for our budget. The technology is easy to use for all our staff and we haven’t had any issues with this product, it is highly recommended!”
