Logistics for the Medical Industry

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. 

Business as usual: Pathology, theatre equipment and bloods 

From the distance, Diamond 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. 

Establishment of laboratories: Fast and adaptive response

In the wake of the Covid outbreak, there was a rush of nationwide testing companies that were established; particularly when PCR tests were being needed before travel.

Diamond Logistics worked with a variety of these testing businesses around the UK to provide a fixed cost national collection service to support the PCR testing.

This involved the rapid establishment of a service from scratch plus the provision of thousands of regional couriers. 

National distribution: Consumables including PPE

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. 

Remote storage savings: Central city locations

Working with Great Ormond Street, Diamond 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. 

Field team support: Remote storage and distribution

With our nationwide service centres, Diamond 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.

Outsource distribution: Medical equipment manufacturers

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, Diamond can manage deliveries safely and promptly.
