Medical sector requirements
Healthcare and pharmaceutical logistics in Wales must meet strict standards: MHRA guidance on medicine transport, NHS Supply Chain accreditation requirements, data protection for patient-linked samples, and safe handling of hazardous or controlled goods. Many Merthyr Tydfil medical firms also operate under NHS framework agreements or independent practice standards that demand documented courier compliance.
T&C Logistics operates under these principles:
- Compliance documentation: We provide chain-of-custody records, temperature logs (where applicable), and delivery evidence compatible with NHS audits and MHRA inspections.
- Staff training: Our drivers and handlers understand pharmaceutical regulations, sterile handling protocols, and confidentiality requirements for patient-linked materials.
- Vehicle standards: Fleet vehicles are maintained to food-transport standards (as baseline for pharmaceutical cargo), with regular deep cleans and climate control.
- Insurance & liability: Full public and goods liability cover; we can extend to specialist medical cargo insurance on request.
