Sharpsmart UK reposted this
On Friday, we welcomed the team from East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust to our Sharpsmart UK Rainham depot for the annual Duty of Care visit. The team was welcomed and we discussed where we would like to support the trust in achieving the next target over the next 3-6 months. This was followed by a informative site walk in which they could see the depot improvements which we have put in place such as the new autoclave and how we are looking to progress the depot efficiencies as the business grows. We look forward to continuing to work with the Trust and support them in continuing to smash the 60/20/20 target. Bring on the champagne.
