Drug round aprons no longer available to order for your ward or area

June 30, 2022

The ‘Do Not Disturb’ drug round aprons are no longer available to order via NHS Supply chain due to supplier shortages.

A decision has been taken to stop using them altogether considering evidence they do not reduce interruptions.

This will save approximately 12,500 single use plastic items from incineration every year and 100kg of carbon emissions which is the same as driving an average petrol car for 400 miles.
