Summary:A stretcher 8 with mounts 9 which may be attached to a fixed object, which pivots about a first axis from a stowed position to a usable position. The patient receiving surface 10 has a hinge 12 along an axis parallel to the first axis to fold it in half. The stretcher may be constructed from a frame 11 and taut sheet 10. Preferably the stretcher 8 has releasable retaining means to lock it in the stowed position, and detent means 13 to lock it in the usable position. Abutment means may be provided to prevent the patient receiving surface 10 folding in more than one direction. The stretcher may be hinged and folded lengthways, or alternatively breadthways when it may also function as a back rest. The stretcher may be mounted to a bath or wall, to assist in washing, dressing or examining patients.
