What Is Healthcare PAT Testing?

Healthcare PAT Testing involves testing portable electrical equipment used in hospitals, GP surgeries, dental clinics, care homes, and other medical settings to ensure they meet the highest safety standards. This includes specialist medical devices as well as everyday appliances like microwaves, kettles, and computers used in staff and patient areas.

When Is Healthcare PAT Testing?

Healthcare PAT Testing should be carried out regularly, often more frequently than in other sectors due to the high-risk nature of the environment. Medical devices in particular may require testing at shorter intervals, sometimes every few months. PAT testing should also be performed after repairs, relocation, or if equipment has been dropped or damaged.
