Person Centred Solutions ltd (PCS) aim to enhance the lives of people living with disabilities and striving to make their life more manageable, autonomous, and comfortable. Many people with existing medical conditions struggle with everyday tasks, this can be down to mobility limitations, cognition impairments or fatigue. The solutions the care sector currently have are not solving these issues. We have identified a series of common problems and will develop products to solve each of them.

Our first solution is The Bed Band.

The bed band is a patent pending device that allows people with mobility limitations remain in a comfortable position in bed, while giving them the freedom to move their arms so they aren't as restricted as the current solutions, such as pillow placement. Our ambition is to get this award-winning idea to as many people in need of it, as possible!

PCS is a 3 year old multi award winning company run by Roma Gibb.

In 2019 our Bed Band idea won "Best Student Business Award" in the UHI Create Highland Business Competition. Where Roma, the director, credits the birth of her business.

We then went on to develop our first functioning prototype, made in Scotland with our carbon footprint in mind. The factory is called BeYonder, who use innovative ways to ensure any waste will not go to landfill and will be repurposed. 

In March 2022, PCS teamed up with the University of the Highlands and Islands to co-design the Bed Band with the users, this exciting project is being led by Dr Michelle Beattie, Senior lecturer at UHI.  With the end goal of having a product that has been co-designed and tested with the people that will be using it.  To do this, the project was awarded over £30,000 through Inverness Highland Region City Deal.

In August 2022, the Director of PCS Roma Gibb was a finalist in Highland Business Woman's, Business Woman of the Year.

In November 2022 the Bed Band idea got through to the Finals of the Converge Kickstart Challenge, a nation wide competition for entrepreneurs to gain access to funding and support to kickstart their innovation.  Roma and the Bed Band won the Runner Up prize and £7,500.
