We were contacted by the Health Improvement Manager from the Environmental Health department of Corby Borough Council, who required a 12 month hire of a vehicle configured to perform basic health checks on local residents.

The vehicle needed to be hired on a self drive basis and converted to collect data.

We were asked to provide a converted vehicle which, among other things, was low cost, available for self drive, quite, configured for basic health checks, could collect and output data, could be used on evenings as a youth outreach vehicle.

Other concerns were that it was a safe environment for both staff and visitors and access remote and difficult to reach locations.

We decided upon a rigid 28ft HGV unit as the vehicle of choice and developed layout plans of the units interior which included the following

Kitchen area for Healthy Eating Campaign, Networked Computer System for data collection and Information delivery, 32" LCD Screen connected to computer, laptop and Xbox 360, Waiting and Examination area

In addition the vehicle needed to be silent when in operation i.e. no noisy generators and be totally self sufficient especially for the data collection aspect i.e. no reliance on mobile broadband internet access
