The Brompton Fountain takes pride in our Medical Equipment Loan Programme (MELP), which allows us to support patients and families by funding essential medical equipment and resources outside the NHS remit. This programme allows patients and their families to enter the community with confidence, knowing they have the essential items needed to keep themselves safe. 

We work closely with the paediatric and adult teams across our network of partnering hospitals to provide families with a wide range of essential items and services. This offer is given on a clinical referral basis and comes from the patient’s Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS). We have provided families with larger items such as AEDs, INRs and SATs monitors, as well as smaller items like blood pressure machines, syringes, and physio balls.
