The healthcare sector is crucial to the well-being of individuals and society as a whole.

According to a report by the World Health Organizatiaon (WHO), "health is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of sustainable development" (WHO, 2018). At Lyreco, we understand and recognise the importance of this sector and work tirelessly to make sure these critical services and facilities are equipped with the essential supplies they need.

With our extensive range of healthcare-specific products and services, we can cater to the needs of dentists, residential care homes, hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities, ensuring they have the essential supplies they need to operate effectively.

HYGIENE

We understand that hygiene, specifically hand hygiene can reduce health-associated infections by up to 50%[1]. With the sector often operating often on tight budgets we understand the need to be able to offer cost-efficient systems that don’t compromise on quality. Whether you need every day hygiene products or more specialist infection control solutions we will be your trusted partner providing solutions at exceptional hygiene standards working with leading brands.

PPE

We know that effective PPE & Safety has always been a critical component of healthcare operations. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant increase in demand for PPE with over 1.5 billion items of PPE delivered to the NHS and social care providers in England.[2]  Lyreco, a valued and trusted supplier of PPE to the healthcare industry for many years supported this shift. In fact, over the last few years, we have supplied over 20m pieces of PPE to businesses adapting to the pandemic. We also worked with many businesses that were struggling to source specific items during the pandemic to work smarter and navigate their challenges.

GENERAL OFFICE

Whether you’re looking to source high-use consumables, day-to-day business products or revamp your facilities, our dedicated and specialised, expert account managers will help you every step of the way ensuring you have the essentials you need to operate effectively.

With the NHS starting to implement the NHS Long Term Plan we will begin to see a shift in care out of hospital and into the community with technology becoming increasingly integrated into care services. Since the pandemic, this has increased, and we will continue to see the growth of virtual wards[3]. Investment in technology solutions in all healthcare setting will be key to this ongoing evolution.
