Follow on Google News | Hand Protection in Healthcare – It’s Gloves…But Not As We Know ItBy: Globus HAIKA (http://www.haikagloves.com/) The healthcare sector is under increasing pressure to reduce its expenditure. The procurement of consumables by the NHS has, in particular, been under the spotlight with accusations of fragmented purchasing and variable pricing. Globus is confident that its offering can not only give better protection it can also genuinely reduce costs, without compromising on quality or service. By offering a comprehensive range of gloves right across the healthcare spectrum, HAIKA is able to support diverse hand protection needs from intricate surgical procedures through to handling chemotherapy drugs. In addition to its extensive HAIKA portfolio Globus seeks to work in partnership with buyers conducting feasibility and usage assessments and then make recommendations based on the organisation’ The assessment approach employed by Globus often uncovers opportunity for cost saving as well as ways in which staff can be better protected or provided with gloves which are fit for purpose. Hand protection policies can often be somewhat ambiguous leaving the individual unsure as to what they are meant to do, or wear. Mark Websper, the Healthcare Divisional Manager for Globus said: “The number of items hospitals procure is extensive and gloves are often seen as relatively far down the food chain. However they are a vital piece of equipment. For healthcare professionals their hands are their livelihood and it is vital they have the correct tools with which to protect them. With the HAIKA range, Globus is keen to see the right emphasis placed on their procurement; Globus, the international company behind HAIKA, boasts an impressive track-record and portfolio of clients operating across the spectrum of industry, ranging from the rigours of heavy construction to the complexity of clean room and aerospace manufacturing and has extensive experience of working with major organisations in this way. Regardless of the task at hand, Globus applies the same level of time and attention in ensuring that the hand protection solution is the right one to deliver improvements in performance and safety. Regardless of whether people in healthcare are performing lifesaving surgery, mixing chemicals for oncology treatments or cleaning the wards the right protection is vital and necessary. Mark Websper continues: “Where we excel is in understanding hand protection needs and then developing solutions which support those needs. Across the healthcare environment hands are doing the most amazing things every day and amazing hands deserve protection. We don’t just sell gloves. We sell hand protection. That is something very different. We have spent a great deal of time developing the HAIKA offering and are confident it is well differentiated and has the ability to make a genuine difference.” End
