Successful fulfilment and delivery services are about understanding an organisation’s needs and creating the most efficient and workable solutions to meet them. It’s also about industry knowledge and experience and no more so than when supporting the medical and healthcare sectors. For the NHS, who Diamond have served as a medical courier for many years, a late delivery or missed fulfilment can have serious consequences. This is why we have developed a close relationship with our healthcare clients, so we can consistently deliver and strive for the very best service. Here, we look at how we support these vital services.
Express same day courier
For the medical sector, knowing that there is an express same day medical courier who will always be on-hand is a must. Diamond provides this quick turnaround service for life-saving equipment, blood collection and pathology. We serve some of London’s busiest hospitals, including Guy’s and St George’s, and have developed a secure and reliable network to ensure goods get where they need to on-time.
Fast and secure delivery network
As well as same day services, we also handle next day and consignment orders for our medical and healthcare clients. This includes the despatch of operational instruments for use in hospitals and clinics, as well as larger surgical equipment and machinery. The key here is finding the best delivery solution, whether that be Diamond’s own network, our trusted third-party carriers, or larger pallet services.
Storage and fulfilment
Storage has become a real difficulty for hospitals, who are already fighting for usable space. Storing goods and equipment on-site is particularly unmanageable for inner city hospitals and clinics and can work out incredibly expensive too. This is why we have developed state-of-the-art storage and fulfilment centres, conveniently located near major cities. Healthcare services can store their equipment off-site in our facilities, whist having the peace of mind that when equipment is needed, we will despatch it ASAP.
Finding the best solutions for the medical and healthcare sector
Many healthcare services have been let down by Royal Mail through the continued disruption this year. In many instances, this is because locating other reliable logistics services at a fair price is challenging and time consuming. Diamond works with a wide range of network partners and carriers to overcome this issue, so we can always provide you with the best cost solution to your particular needs.
Diamond is very proud to be able to support our medical and healthcare clients with their couriering, storage and fulfilment needs.
