1 – Customer profile

Company name: The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST)

Sector: Health

Company description: One of 10 independent NHS ambulance services operating in the UK, EEAST supports patients across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, an area made up of approximately 6.3 million people.

EEAST provides accident and emergency services for people in need of urgent medical treatment and transport, as well as non-emergency transport services.

Overview of premises: Uniwipe is now supplying EEAST’s depots in Norwich and Letchworth with Clinical 2-in-1 wipes.

 

2 – Situation

With an already established relationship with Uniwipe, EEAST’s experts were looking to replace its existing clinical wipe suppliers with more cost-effective solutions without compromising on cleaning efficiencies.

Confident in the efficacy and bacteria kill rate of our products, our experts collaborated to find a suitable solution for the cleaning routines of EEAST’s office spaces and fleet, including ambulances and first response vehicles.

 

3 – Approach

After carefully assessing our client’s needs, and gaining an understanding of the clinical wipes currently being used to clean its vehicle fleet and premises, our experts were confident that our Clinical 2-in-1 wipes would be a more cost-effective solution, and would also help heighten the cleanliness of its vehicles and offices.

We supplied EEAST with tester packs so it could complete its own evaluation of the products. Tests completed by its personnel, feedback was overwhelmingly positive as EEAST were satisfied with the effectiveness of our Clinical 2-in-1 wipes which guarantee a 99.999% kill rate of bacteria, are effective within 30 seconds against cross-contamination, infections, and enveloped viruses, and are officially a UKCA certified Class IIa Medical Device product.

 

4 – Outcomes

Delighted with the efficacy of our products, EEAST’s depots are now reaping the benefits of using Clinical 2-in-1 wipes to clean its vehicle fleet and office spaces, including:

Cost savings: The product offers a much lower cost per wipe compared to the previous wipes used by EEAST. Furthermore, our customer achieves additional cost savings and takes significant steps in sustainability by choosing Uniwipe, a UK manufacturer, over internationally-based suppliers.

No gloves required: Clinical 2-in-1 wipes are completely safe for use on both skin and surfaces, which means PPE isn’t necessary where appropriate. This also contributes to further cost savings for EEAST.

Sole supplier: Previously, EEAST required multiple suppliers to meet its cleaning needs. The effectiveness of our Clinical 2-in-1 wipes eliminates the need for a second supplier, thereby simplifying the supply chain. We strive to make working with Uniwipe a stress-free process; hence our products can easily be ordered via the NHS Supply Chain Catalogue.

Best-in-class Medical Device wipes: Our products not only meet but exceed EEAST’s cleaning requirements. They are the ideal tool for NHS personnel when cleaning high-risk infection areas and non-invasive medical devices, boasting a 99.999% bacterial kill rate and a 30-second time to effectiveness.
