ABPI Award

Congratulations to Dr Sara Hiom from the Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust who has won a prestigious ABPI award for innovative practice. This is in recognition for the work she has carried out over the last year on validating aseptic processes in hospital pharmacies.

Helapet have been working closely with Sara to produce a validation kit to complement her test procedures. It is hoped that these new standard operating procedures will be widely adopted across the UK as it has now been proven to be the best method for validating aseptic processes from storage through 2 transfers.

For more information on the SteriVal Kit and standard operating procedure, please contact our sales team on 0800 0328 428
