Bulletins

  • 20th Jan 2023 – Urine Meter with bag: The Trust standard Urine Meter from Unomedical has been discontinued due to manufacture in Belarus which has ceased supply. There is now knock on effect with supply within the product category as stocks of Unomedical products deplete. Please be advised that the approved alternative is Flexicare 00-1227 which can be ordered via Oracle.
  • 20th Feb 2023 - Incontinence Pads: Please be advised that Essity Tena incontinence pads (CFP4392) are currently being demand managed which means you may see an impact to your usual stock level. The Supplies team are working to prioritise distribution to those areas that are in most need. As a mitigation the team have secured stocks of Attends Incontinence pads (Mpc 203811 or 201275) to be used during this period of supply disruption.

Our experiences through COVID-19 highlighted the criticality of ensuring a resilient supply chain for LUHFT, through delivery networks and suppliers’ supply chains.

LUHFT has evolving service needs and requires continued support to deliver safe and excellent patient care.  Ensuring that LUHFT have equal access to key consumables required to provide patient care remains a top priority we are focused on enabling supply chain resilience for the Trust, Regionally and Nationally.
