The UK medical logistics sector handles over 45 million shipments annually, yet 23% of clinical samples are delayed by standard couriers unfamiliar with healthcare compliance requirements. T&C Logistics specialises in medical logistics for NHS hospital networks, private healthcare providers, CROs (Contract Research Organisations), and pharmaceutical manufacturers—eliminating delays that jeopardise patient care, trial integrity, and regulatory status.
Based in the Thames Valley with a ULEZ-compliant fleet and 24/7 dispatch, we deliver pathology samples, clinical trial materials, temperature-controlled medical devices, and urgent blood or organ transport within 30–60 minutes of collection from any UK postcode. Our medical logistics service operates 365 days yearly, ensuring no delays during weekends, bank holidays, or emergency situations.

What scale is the UK medical logistics market, and why does specialist certification matter?
The UK healthcare system processes 45 million+ annual medical and pathology shipments, yet 23% of clinical samples are delayed by non-specialist couriers, damaging trial timelines and diagnostic accuracy. Of 89,104 UK logistics businesses, fewer than 2,000 hold MHRA and clinical trial certification.

"Medical logistics isn't about speed alone—it's about precision under pressure. A delayed pathology sample or mishandled clinical trial shipment costs far more than same-day transport. We've built T&C Logistics to eliminate that risk entirely." —Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics
