Medical and NHS Fulfilment & Delivery

 The variety of bespoke logistic solutions available for our medical sector clients is almost infinite. Below is a summary of our work to provide you with an idea of the scope of logistics that can be tailored to your specific requirements. 

 From the distance, RED has been working with companies such as The Doctors Laboratory, and what was previously known as Greendale Laboratories, with the collection and delivery of pathology samples from regional hospitals and regional veterinary practices to centralised laboratories. 

 From daily set runs to ad hoc same day courier requests, this is a flexible outsourced solution for nationwide companies that don’t have regional service provision. 

The Luton branch of Diamond Logistics was co-opted by the DHSC as the pandemic started in March 2020 to set up a national distribution system of PPE to care homes and NHS Trusts.

Not only did this require a same day courier response, but it also included the next day distribution service over the two years of the pandemic.

Utilising our end-to-end logistics management platform, despatchlab, the special operations unit of the DHSC was able to have full visibility of the distribution of all the PPE, in real time.

This was an emergency response (nationwide distribution was established in under 48 hours), with a medium term smooth running operation.

With our nationwide service centres, RED is perfectly positioned to provide remote storage and distribution solutions for your field teams.

Whether this is health visitors, carers or regional testing teams, you can store medical equipment close to where your field teams reside so they can have all the equipment they need at their disposal locally without having to wait 24 hours for supplies to be replenished from a national distribution centre.

Effective for both private and NHS organisations, this is an incredibly efficient way of maximising productivity, minimising downtime as well as collection mileage.

Working with Great Ormond Street, RED provides remote storage for the IT department, freeing up expensive city centre space.

On a weekly basis, we collate equipment requests and despatch into the hospital. This service comes with a live digital inventory, low cost regional storage, and a cost effective weekly despatch.

We can despatch high value medical equipment on a same day, next day or international basis. Either utilising one of our specialist couriers to deliver direct or utilise one of our high-grade carriers to deliver next day or internationally.

With additional insurance available for expensive equipment, plus real-time visibility via our end-to-end logistics management platform, despatchlab and easy documentation for international deliveries, RED can manage deliveries safely and promptly.
