Transport
Delivering critical clinical items safely
Our transport team delivers a non-patient, time critical, clinical transport service, travelling more than 312,000 miles each year, mostly across Lancashire and South Cumbria.
They transport tens of thousands of clinical items each year – ranging from histology and pathology specimens, controlled drugs and pharmaceutical products to medical records and radioactive materials.
As a clinician, or patient, this service is vital as it involves the movement of goods and sensitive personal data which contribute toward diagnosis and subsequent treatment of patients.
Because of the valued nature of our cargo, our staff follow strict guidelines and are experienced drivers. Using a specialist web-based system, our drivers can keep in touch at all times. The routes that they take each day are tracked not only to ensure the safe delivery of goods, but also to support the wellbeing of our drivers – as they tackle the busy transport infrastructure across our footprint.
Our footprint is as far south as Manchester and north as Ambleside and as far west as Millom and to the east Bentham and totals a mileage of more than 1,200 miles a day.
We also handle ward moves, office moves and general equipment and furniture removal and disposal.
