Congratulations to our fabulous hardworking Supply Chain team.
This week’s team of the week is the Healthcare Partners Limited (HPL) Materials Management team. They have been nominated for going ‘above and beyond’ in ensuring the provision of stocks for Coronavirus.
The team consists of 11 members of staff who work towards ensuring the availability and supply of consumables across the Trust.
Alf Turner, Managing Director of HPL said: “Coronavirus is this team’s primary focus right now ensuring that Trust staff have all the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) for dealing with the Coronavirus.
“This includes masks, gowns, gloves, sanitisers, and swabs for patients (which are normally supplied by Pathology) where there are emerging national issues caused by the high use of such products.”
To date, the team have successfully managed stocks levels and deployed these essential supplies to the special POD the Trust has set up and our Emergency Department which are dealing with Coronavirus at the front line as well as all other clinical areas.
They are a prime example of a team responding to a challenging situation under positive leadership.
