Over labelling
For several years, The Specials Laboratory has been supporting PCTs, hospitals and ambulance services across the UK with the supply of over labelled medicines. Our service involves the supply of medicines pre-labelled with a hospital or PCT’s own design. It is super-quick to set-up and ensures the delivery of your over labelled products where and when you need.
Now, we’re not one for gloating but in a recent independent service (2012) with a selection of our customers, 100% felt we offered a value for money over labelling and every single one of them said they would/have already recommended The Specials Laboratory to colleagues.
For our hospital customers, over labelling is all about reducing workload and freeing-up time, space and resource in the dispensary. Our service ensures you always have readily available stock, you don’t need to do the job and stock pile in-house and our quick 24-hour turnaround helps with your storage space as we store your labelled stock for you. You always have availability of product in the quantities you require to dispense and discharge patients 24/7 – helping cut waiting time. In addition to designing your labels exactly how you need them, we will even monitor your stock levels and trend your usage patterns to improve planning and maximise your efficiency. Over labelled medicines are particularly suitable for out of hours dispensing.
If you decide to give us a shot as your over labelling partner, aside from competitive pricing, you can expect a quick turnaround in terms of set-up, quotes, label creation and delivery as a start. You can be assured of excellent communications and superb customer service from our friendly, available and responsive team. The quality of our labelling and packaging will be first class and if there are any potential issues on the horizons or stocks are running low, you’ll be first to know.
If that's got you hooked already, email us or call us free on 0800 028 4925 to discuss your over labelling needs with our team.
“The Specials Laboratory now looks after most of our over labelled products and has always delivered on-time and to budget. Service from the team has been particularly brilliant and since switching to them, our Trust has save thousands of pounds. The service has reduced workload in the dispensary and ensures patients can be discharged 24 hours a day as appropriate packs are always available. I’d give The Specials Laboratory a 10/10 and have already recommended them to many colleagues.”
Trudy Bown, Pharmacy Procurement Manager at Derriford Hospital
“Turnaround time for set-up and delivery of over labelling products with The Specials Laboratory has been very quick. The service has been efficient, customer friendly and importantly for the NHS, value for money.
Stacey Green, Procurement and Distribution Manager at Torbay Hospital
“The speed of service in relation to quotes, label creation and delivery for products has been most impressive. The reliable service has been cost effective and ensures products are available for patients. Communications and little touches like call backs following fax orders are excellent.”
