Medical courier services should not be confused with the transportation of biological material, such as blood and organs, which are generally performed by the NHS or specifically contracted transportation services. As you read on, you will quickly discover that medical logistics and medical courier services are something very different, but a service needed by many communities.
What is a medical courier?
As far as the medical courier services provided by Distribusha, these involve working as a back-up to both private and national health services in the provision of medical equipment, usually to patients who have transferred from a hospital to recuperating at home, or to assist patients who require long-term home care.
As examples of where Distribusha is able to help, we provide collection and delivery for all medical equipment as and when needed for assisting people to remain at home while still undergoing medical treatment. Distribusha is a medical logistics company which can deliver hospital-style beds, gas bottles, electrically operated chairs, nebulisers and other breathing equipment, home dialysis units and so many more items.
Why use a medical courier
Providing medical logistics solutions is very important to Distribusha as we are very much aware the pressure the NHS is under and how there is a constant shortage of beds. Our aim is to help to assist as many patients as possible to remain as comfortable as they can while undergoing home treatment, though providing a medical courier service to provide all the necessary equipment they may need.
A medical courier costs far less in terms of overall costs delivering equipment to patients’ homes than it would cost to keep them in hospital, while also helping to reduce extremely long waiting lists for operations.
Installing critical medical equipment by trained medical couriers
One of the things that helps us here at Distribusha, one of the best medical logistics companies, is our experience and understanding of just how delicate medical equipment can be. From collection to delivery we ensure that anything of critical importance is carefully and correctly wrapped. Once at the ‘other end’ we ensure that the equipment is delicately unwrapped and the equipment installed and in fully operational mode, before collecting up all the packaging materials and leaving no sign behind that we were even there!
Empathy and understanding in terms of patients we meet
While we are only responsible for the collection and delivery of medical equipment, that does not mean we are not interested in the well-being of those home patients who we deliver equipment to. We are very much aware that some of those at home may not have a good prognosis and therefore being professional, yet empathetic is so very important. Similarly, many home patients are still very anxious and very heavily dependent on the equipment they need to survive. That is why we always try to be as considerate and gentle when it comes to the delivery, unpacking and installation of any medical equipment.
The importance of a 24/7 medical courier service
Providing comprehensive medical logistics solutions is a major responsibility as nobody can predict if or when a vital piece of medical equipment might break down and need urgent replacement, or a new replacement part delivered ASAP and the machine fixed. For this very reason, here at Distribusha, we offer a 24/7 medical courier service with experienced technicians to help minimise stress and discomfort for those who are not in good health,
Medical logistics services to medical professionals
Whether a doctor, dentist, physiotherapist or osteopath, the chances are you will all have one thing in common. The need for specialist equipment to fully and effectively carry out your work. With everyone invariably having long waiting lists of patients, even being put of action for half a day can cause a ripple-effect of problems and therefore not just knowing who supplies your equipment, but knowing that if anything went wrong, you could have a replacement or spare parts to fix the current problem could save you a considerable sum of money, and save your patients and clients from an avoidable delay or even cancellation of their appointment. With the medical logistics capability to provide same-day delivery services for medical equipment, Distribusha is a company you should get to know today.
