Partnering Inside the Four Walls of Healthcare

Managing healthcare waste safely isn’t just about what happens in the waste compound. It’s about what happens where care is delivered – inside clinical environments.

We’ve understood this from day one – working alongside the people who use sharps and clinical waste systems every day.

The Sharpsmart Difference is our commitment to working inside the four walls of healthcare facilities. We partner with organisations to design safer, smarter and more sustainable waste management systems that protect people, support compliance and deliver measurable outcomes. We ensure your facility’s risk profile is managed and that any costs associated with the handling of waste including sharps, offensive and infectious waste are minimised.

This is healthcare waste management built on partnership, not transactions.

“Sharpsmart goes above and beyond…”

Sharpsmart have been a supplier to the Walton Centre since 2010 and over my 24 years in the NHS I have witnessed when contractors provide a service which meets the specification. That is great, however with Sharpsmart – the team go above and beyond.

“Over and above service…”

We are more than happy to work with Sharpsmart. Nothing is a problem and this was recently demonstrated when one of our terminally ill patients wanted to be treated at home. We could not have done this without Sharpsmart who provided us with the necessary equipment, out of hours so the patient could have their wish list.

“Sharpsmart’s impact on efficiency…”

NCUH has been working with Sharpsmart for a number of years and have found the service to be first class. The information received about each product, along with savings made , have been great. Staff have been outstanding in assisting us with any issues we have had and resolving in the quickest time

“Reduces our footprint…”

The reason why we chose to use the Sharpsmart sharps container was due to the sustainability issues of being able to recycle the actual sharps bin rather than incinerating them and causing more issues with carbon footprint.

“I would recommend Sharpsmart…”

We have used Sharpsmart’s reusable sharps containers since 2004 and have always been given a great service. We have just engaged Sharpsmart for total waste management and are hoping to showcase the Trust for the sustainable waste management practices we have achieved in partnership with Sharpsmart.
