Helping you see NHS logistics differently

NHS Trust Logistics Solutions

It’s widely recognised that there are significant cash releasing and efficiency saving opportunities existing at local Trust level across England. The challenge is how can they be achieved and release valuable time, energy and focus for patient care?

What if we could optimise your deliveries and achieve a cost neutral solution?

Lack of capacity and resource, competing priorities

Rising year on year service demand is putting pressure on NHS resources, including people, premises and costs. Ongoing supply chain disruption is making clinical consumables, medical devices and medicines purchases extremely volatile and variable in terms of both price and availability. Severe financial constraints and demand pressure often leads to a lack of prioritisation for supply chain projects or reductions in spend on supply chain people.

We want to become a seamless extension of your organisation and work with you to achieve your goals.

Our ambition is to help you reduce cost, build greater resilience and flexibility to underpin improved patient care

Rudolph and Hellmann are currently in discussion with several significant NHS Trusts and are exploring the provision of a localised logistics solution providing the following benefits:

• Improvements in stock integrity to reduce spend on material waste or obsolescence

• Deliver consistent product availability, visibility, coordination and sharing of resource

• Share best practice and information/data between sites

• Significantly reduce congestion of deliveries (and related emissions) into your Hospitals

• Reduce clinical time spent on non‐clinical work

In the discussions so far we have found that there is a high degree of commonality across the individual Trusts, driven by the high level of consistency in supply chain challenges faced across the NHS, including workforce, systems, data management and performance visibility.

Reducing waste and clinical time spent on non-clinical work

Our proposals and contracts are ‘win-win’

Delivering a quantum change in supply chain performance and efficiency. Making inbound deliveries easier, we believe we can
significantly reduce purchasing and inbound delivery costs across a Trust. Leading to a potential reduction in manpower for processing and delivery. Enabling your teams to focus on other areas, plus a tangible data led reduction in pollution targets being achieved.
Our experience can help you anticipate challenges and implement best practices, reducing risks and ensuring smooth operations. Adaptable logistics strategies that respond to changes in demand, market conditions, or customer requirements, ensuring that the logistics processes remain efficient and effective.

Ensuring that the solutions provided measurably improve your inventory and supply chain management.

Our process to evaluate your needs is discrete and confidential

Reducing waste and clinical time spent on non-clinical work. This is the ambition of every Trust we’ve had talks with. Many issues are known,
but lack the finances, expertise and time required to resolve them means they are tolerated ‐ no matter how frustrating this is.

The first step costs 30 minutes of your time to explain our methodology and establish the scope of your Trusts needs.
