Medical deliveries have specific requirements. Here's what to consider.
Temperature Control Many medical items need chilled or frozen transport. Ensure the courier has temperature-controlled vehicles and can maintain the required range throughout the journey.
Confidentiality Patient data and medical records must be handled in line with GDPR. Couriers should have processes for confidential handling and secure chain of custody.
Time-Critical Lab specimens, vaccines, and urgent medical supplies often have strict time windows. Same-day collection and delivery with timed slots may be essential.
Proof of Delivery Electronic POD with signature and timestamp is standard. Some clients need additional documentation for compliance.
NHS and Pharma For NHS and pharmaceutical work, check that the courier meets any sector-specific requirements (e.g. GDP for medicines).
