Whether you are a private ambulance service or operate through the NHS, Sharpsmart can provide you with clinically-focused total waste management. We understand the complexity of safe sharps and clinical waste management solutions tailored to your needs; We understand the complexity of safe sharps and clinical waste management in your fast-paced field; let us handle all of your clinical waste requirements so you can focus on helping others

 


 

We recognise that the environment of ambulance services requires a clinical solution that minimises infection risk, and ensures safety at each step of handling healthcare waste. Our 30+ years in healthcare has helped us define innovative sharps, infectious, offensive and pharmaceutical waste solutions that reduce waste, increase safety and dramatically improve efficiencies in clinical waste handling! When we partner with healthcare facilities, we first start by understanding your needs and then come up with a customised plan designed to optimise your overall waste management service. As a team, we are passionate about ensuring all clinical and portering staff are equipped with educational resources and guidance on proper compliance and waste segregation. Through our bespoke education offerings we help our customers feel confident in their waste management process, which in turn improves waste segregation and lowers total costs.

 

With safety and sustainability as our primary drivers, Sharpsmart has developed solutions that ensure overall waste reduction for any waste generator. The more waste than we can reduce, or correctly segregate, the less waste goes to landfill and becomes an environmental burden. One of our premium waste reduction solutions is our Verify Waste Identification tool. This program assists healthcare providers in categorising pharmaceutical waste and ensuring correct disposal by waste stream. The Verify tool is an intuitive portal that can calculate your P-Listed weight, deliver email alerts on regulatory changes, increase accuracy of pharmaceutical disposal and more. With over 30 years of experience in healthcare, Sharpsmart has the solutions, licensing and compliance expertise to protect the risk exposure and regulatory responsibilities of UK ambulance services in the management of all clinical and non clinical waste streams.
