VERNACARE PARTNERS WITH UCLH
TO IMPROVE INFECTION CONTROL
University College London Hospitals (UCLH) has replaced
traditional bed pan washing with the Verncare System of hygienic
human waste disposal at its University College Hospital site.
Medili nk North West member Vernacare
is a UK manufacturing business which
developed the Vernacare System of
hygienic patient toileting and washing
50 years ago. The disposable system is
used by 96% of NHS hospitals.
UCLH has installed 70 Vortex disposal
units across all hospital wards, which
has helped to improve standards of
infection prevention, free up nurses’
time for frontline patient care, and
improve environmental performance.
This involved replacing plastic
receptacles with a range of Vernacare’s
single-use containers, including urinals,
bedpans and washbowls. After each use,
the products are placed in a disposal
unit that breaks them down into a fine
watery slurry, before discharging to
drain.
John Swanson, Senior Infection Control
Nurse (pictured), said: “The response
from nursing staff has been extremely
positive. It’s far quicker and more
hygienic than the bedpan washer system
we were using.”

COULD YOU
BENEFIT FROM
WORKING WITH A
MENTOR?
The Business Growth Hub’s specialist
mentoring programme brings together
experienced mentors and mentees
to support business growth in the
region’s biomedical and health sectors.
The Hub’s mentors are business
people who have ‘been there and done
it’, and are happy to share their insider
insight and help people from ambitious
companies move their plans along.
They work with businesses operating
in the medical and health sector to
pass on their experience and help
explore, question and resolve
business issues.
Mentoring support might relate to a
number of areas, from supporting
new growth businesses, exploring
opportunities for business finance
setting new business objectives, facing
a business dilemma or just needing a
second opinion on your ideas.
The mentoring can take place in a
number of ways – face to face, by
telephone or email and as part of a
wider group - and the Business Growth
Hub mentoring team works to set up
a mentoring partnership that suits
individual sector expertise, available
time and interests.
To find more about the Hub’s
mentoring programme please visit
www.businessgrowthhub.com.
You can also contact the mentoring
team on 0161 359 3050 or email
[email protected].
Alternatively, if you are someone in
the medical and health sector and
feel your experience and knowledge
could help someone starting out or
with growth aspirations, get in touch
on the same phone number or email.
Mentoring is not only rewarding but is
also a great way to establish yourself
as an expert in your field.
