NHS stocktaking

Over the years, Countability UK have been approached by several NHS trusts to carry out their NHS annual stocktakes. This is not only for their accounting purposes but also for the trusts to get more control as well as a better visibility of what stock they have and where the stock is situated. A physical check by a trusted third party provider such as ourselves is the only way to achieve this.

We offer a bespoke service to each trust whereby we incorporate their needs using our extensive stocktaking knowledge. We can then provide an excellent package that will deliver an accurate count while identifying over or under stocks. We will also identify obsolete, damaged stock and we will provide locations as to where these items are situated.

This gives the trust the ability to act immediately on the information we have provided. In this way, we make the trust more effective and efficient at using its funds in the areas most needed.

Over our nearly 30 years in business, we have carried out a wide range of stocktaking projects for NHS trusts including:

Complete NHS stocktakes

Thes stocktakes cover all areas of the hospitals, such as wards, theatres, outpatients, clinics and A & E. We locate, count and record the stock. We then enter the the information with our own data analysts (if this service is required by the trust).

This service can be extended with line-by-line pricing and totals, therefore taking all the strain away from the trust. At the end, we present the stocktake in an Excel file or any format the trust requires.

Part NHS stocktakes

A part stocktake occurs when the trust decides that they need extra support in certain areas of their operation, as they don’t feel confident with the information they have on file. By using our services, they are able to clarify this issue.

Special NHS stocktake projects

This where we have been instructed to carry out stocktakes in different areas of the hospital. As stated in the “Part Stocktakes” section, we have visited sites in the local communities. Locations like doctors surgeries and health clinics.

In conclusion, using a company like Countability UK gives you peace of mind that your NHS stock count will be very accurate. It will also be methodically carried out and a complete package delivered at the end of it. 

Our staff are well trained and highly experienced in this area of stocktaking. They have worked in very delicate and highly sensitive areas, such as intensive care, labour theatres and children’s wards. They work very closely with the staff and wear their passes at all times.

So as you can see, by using our company you get all the pain and effort taken away from producing your year’s final figures, as well as getting a very accurate viewpoint of the whole NHS trust. You will be able to see where the trust’s funds are being held and you will enjoy the added bonus of seeing the levels of stock plus any damaged, out-of-date or obsolete stock.
