Over labelling
Due to the increasing demand for over labelled medicines to help treat patients and discharge them quicker, we offer an over labelling service supplying pre packed medicines to Hospitals and Ambulance services. Aimed at pressurised environments, these products are particularly suitable for out of hours dispensing.
This service ultimately allows you to sub-contract your over labelled product requirements. This means there is no need for you to stock pile onsite and use up your vital storage space as we store the goods for you, reliably delivering what you need in the quantities required within 24 hours. If that's enough to get you interested already, email
overlabelling@specialslab.co.uk or call us free on 0800 028 4925.
The process
Following an initial set-up period (label, design and approval) and technical agreement, which usually takes less than seven days, your ordering system is in place. If you choose to order in bulk at the start, this ensures that goods are constantly ready for dispatch and hugely helps us to provide you with a flexible and hassle-free service with an extremely quick turnaround.
"All of our over labelling was historically either done in-house or by another local NHS Trust until we began looking to outsource the service a few years back. At the time our supplier was struggling with capacity and not meeting our service requirements, so we identified The Specials Lab as a potential partner.
"After visiting their facilities in Northumberland back in 2008, meeting the team and carrying out an audit on the site, we set-up up a supply and service level agreement with the company as our new over labelling supplier. Since then, we have moved the majority of our lines over to The Specials Laboratory and in doing so have made savings in excess of £60k.
"The Specials Laboratory's quick set-up on new lines, proactive service and consistently fast product delivery whilst maintaining safe quality systems has no doubt helped improve patient care and enhanced our pharmacy's reputation within the Trust."
Debbie Brenton, assistant director of pharmacy at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth.
