Abstract
A headrest for a mobile patient transport apparatus is arranged to support a patient during minor surgical procedures. The headrest includes a neck supporting portion which is hinged to a backrest of the apparatus, and a head supporting portion which is hinged to the neck supporting portion. Each of the neck supporting portion and head supporting portion is connected to a respective actuator. The actuators can be independently operated to cause pivoting of the neck supporting portion relative to the backrest and/or pivoting of the head supporting portion relative to the neck supporting portion.
