Supporting the NHS Supply Chain
Hospital Direct supports the nation and NHS supply chain with forward-thinking patient handling supplies.
As an expert in the design, manufacture and supply of industry-leading patient handling products, Hospital Direct has served the NHS for almost three decades.
Over these years, we’ve built strong relationships with the NHS supply chain (NHSSC), which we play a key role in. Today, we’re proud to be one of the NHS’ preferred suppliers.

Why We’re a Preferred NHSSC Supplier
Our vast range of medical supplies meets the needs of patients and practitioners in caregiving sectors across the UK.
Patients, carers, NHS staff and other medical professionals use our patient handling supplies all day every day, especially in hospitals, other NHS establishments, care homes and even just at home.
Supplying the NHS During the Pandemic
We constantly evaluate and evolve our product lines to accommodate changes in demand in all sectors. For example, over the past year, we’ve added an extensive suite of personal protective equipment (PPE) to our product catalogue.
This range includes surgical, medical and isolation gowns. These supplies have helped practitioners ease the burden of COVID-19, protecting both caregivers and patients during such a turbulent time.
