At CitySprint Healthcare, we have designed a range of solutions to support the healthcare sector as a whole.

Our services have been developed using our extensive knowledge and experience of the medical and pharmaceutical sectors and by listening to and working with our customers. These have helped us to develop efficient and effective transportation solutions for all your healthcare logistics needs. We can provide you with total outsourced fleet solutions or flexible ad-hoc support, whichever one you need.

With 35 wholly owned ServiceCentres across the UK and over 2000 couriers, we can provide you with a secure and rapid response service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our unique real-time tracking software, CourierLocator, means you can see a live map location of the courier handling your organ or tissue delivery.

• Finished product transfusion blood
• Organs and tissue
• Patient records
• Instruments, equipment, consumables and supplies

GP surgery collection
Our team will work with your GP liaison teams to provide a fully tailored service to each surgery. This means that covering extended opening hours, weekend collections and rural routes are all part of the service.

• Optimisation of  surgery routes
• Secure delivery of results
• Restocking of phlebotomy consumables and PPE

PathTrak
Our sophisticated PathTrak service provides our clients with greater security in pathology and haematology transportation by ensuring a secure chain of custody, and offers savings to NHS and private budgets.

PathTrak uses a sophisticated GPS ‘track and trace’ system and barcode scanning technology to eliminate mis-deliveries of samples, streamline medical courier routes and deliver a more efficient flow of samples to the laboratory.

Our coded location barcodes make sure that collections and deliveries are only from the correct locations, whilst our online dashboard allows you to view the real-time progress of your sample. The comprehensive trail of electronic audit supports MHRA and CPA quality control.

Hospital based courier services
Our hospital based suite of transport solutions is designed to work alongside your existing transport in-house service. We can either provide a total outsourced solution or support as and when required, either for new routes as they arise or for periods of holiday or sickness cover.

Our one-stop solution for all of your core transportation requirements includes:

• CSSD Transportation
• ADR Movements, infectious substances and Dry Ice
• Patient records, documents and secure data
• X-Rays
• Pharmacy including controlled drugs
• Replenishment and restocking of PPE and consumables
