8th April - Following a telephone call received by our sales office this morning, we are proud to have been able to turn around an urgent NHS Covid order for a quantity of our MEDesign Patient Sliders for NHS South of England Procurement Services. Unfortunately the usual supply sources are currently unable to fulfill the immediate requirement quoting estimated lead times of at least 8 to 10 weeks. MEDesign has been able to complete the entire order ready for despatch within the factory working day and the consignment of product will be shipped from our warehouse tomorrow for immediate use by front line NHS clinicians and care teams.

We are humbled at this time as a true British based healthcare manufacturing company to be able to support medical facilities and government bodies, both here in the UK and also in overseas countries, with the ongoing supply of our range of healthcare and patient handling products. Since the last two weeks of March consignments of product including the MEDesign Patient Slider, MEDesign Slide Sheets, MEDesign Patient Handling Sling and MEDesign Patient Hand Blocks have been shipped direct from our factory here in Southport to Ambulance and Hospital Trusts throughout the UK and to overseas stockists and healthcare providers in countries including Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Malta and the Netherlands.

As a manufacturer of essential medical and healthcare products our factory and warehouse remains open and fully operational with both domestic and export orders being processed and despatched on a daily basis.
