Supporting Professionals That Care
Unfortunately due to licensing restrictions, we do not sell Prescription Only Medicines (POMs), Over The Counter (OTC) medicines like Paracetamol, Controlled Drugs (CDs) or other commonly used drugs in pre-hospital care, this includes saline infusions and flushes. You will not find these products on our website. We suggest you make contact with your local pharmacy to see if they can assist you with the supply of such items.
Yes. Most items on our website are available to all our customers. However some items are restricted. These include products that show protected titles like Doctor, Nurse and Paramedic. Some items are also age restricted products. All restricted items on our website are clearly identified.
This depends on what products you wish to purchase. The product must be specifically manufactured or designed for the purpose of supporting a person with a registered disability. For example, a wheelchair or a hearing aid device. The exemption does not apply to products that are manufactured for general use and without the specific purpose of supporting a person with a disability. Examples of non-exempt products would include items like vomit bowls, dressings and plasters.
Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to place an order online without being required to pay VAT at the UK prevailing rate.
If you believe you or your organisation can purchase from us VAT exempt, please Contact Us and a member of our team will be happy to advise you further.
A number of products we sell on our website feature the use of protected titles like Doctor, Nurse, Paramedic, etc. We are committed to ensuring that such products are only made available to those who are legally entitled to use such titles.
Therefore if you are purchasing a 'restricted' product you will need to upload a copy of your current registration certificate/register entry. Without this information we will not be able to complete your order and this will cause a delay in processing it.
