Celebrating the essential role of the Pharmacy Technician
As part of our ongoing support of Association of Pharmacy Technicians UK (APTUK), we have joined them in celebrating the essential role of the Pharmacy Technician on the 16th October for Pharmacy Technician Day.
Here at Helapet we pride ourselves on providing dedicated support to the health and safety of Pharmacy Technicians in their works. Previously, we have attended the APTUK annual conference and sponsored the Katherine Miles poster competition which has been a great success and produced innovative ideas and new methodologies to support improvements in best practice within the Pharmacy profession.
Pharmacy Technician Day (#RxTechDay) is a social media campaign started by APTUK with the aim to raise the profile of the profession and celebrate the diversity of their role.
We were delighted to have the opportunity to send the aseptic team at the Countess of Chester Hospital some of our promotional materials. With the aim that it would help their team highlight to visitors the importance of aseptics and using specialist products to ensure patient safety.
In our promotional bags, we can provide:
- Our latest Catalogue
- A free 'Product Sample Request' leaflet
- Our popular freebie syringe pens and bag openers
If you are interested in receiving one of our promotional packs to help promote #RxTechDay and your role as a Pharmacy Technician and the resources needed to be successful, please email us at info@helapet.co.uk or call 01582 501980.

Jun 2018 - Helapet achieve next level with Investors in People - Silver accreditation
Helapet are delighted to announce that we have recently been awarded Silver Investors in People accreditation. An international recognised standard that supports high business performance through the investment, management and support of its people, we are proud to dedicate this achievement to our amazing team and the terrific progress all have made in key areas of the Helapet business.
To achieve Silver standard Helapet needed to meet all set indicators at the Developed level and at least seven indicators at the Established level. Following the two day assessment, Helapet showed it was meeting all indicators at the required standard, with five at the Established level, two at the Advanced level and two indicators at the Developed level. By definition, the vast majority of company processes were seen to be "engaging, activating and creating positive outcomes".
Ben Miles (Managing Director) comments on this achievement: "Being awarded IIP Silver accreditation is a great achievement for us and a testament to the level of dedication and focus we place on our workforce. By adhering to our core values we have demonstrated what can be achieved by working together to create positive change"
For over 14 years, Helapet has held Investors in People accreditation. The jump to Silver status has been achieved through the ongoing implementation of several new company initiatives:
- Launch of new Vision, Mission and Values statement
- Implementation of Lean Principles and 5S methodologies
- Empowering staff and improving employee engagement
- Focus on improving quality and value to our customers
Final comments from the IIP report acknowledges and praises the company's recent transformation: "The Company (Helapet) has made significant progress in the three years since its last Investors in People Review in all parts of the Standard. In particular, advances have been made in the areas of empowerment, management effectiveness, objective setting and employee engagement. A new Managing Director was appointed just over two years ago and he has brought a clarity and a vitality to the people processes and practices that support organisational success. That such positive outcomes have been achieved in a relatively short time is testament not only to his energy and vision, but also to the efforts of every employee who has responded so positively to the opportunities for improvement this has presented".
Interesting Fact
Of the total organisations to have achieved Investors in People accreditation, 46% have achieved Silver accreditation and above. Learn more about Investors in People at: https://www.investorsinpeople.com/

May 2017 - VaccinePorter® Carrier Systems
Keeping your medicines effective
Temperature controlled products are products which are actively or passively controlled at a level different from the surrounding environment. This is one of the most vital parts of transporting temperature sensitive products. Vaccines are transported in refrigerated containers to surgeries and local vaccine storage facilities where they are then stored in special vaccine fridges. Keeping the vaccines within the +2°C and +8°C temperature range throughout this process is 'maintaining the cold chain'. Having products too cold causes deterioration or too warm can render the vaccine inert. Vaccines need to be stored and managed correctly so that immunisations are carried out safely and efficiently reducing the risk of compromising the quality, efficacy and safety of the vaccine program.
Having a reliable system ensures that your products are not compromised when in transit. The VaccinePorter® range allows for a safe controlled transit of temperature sensitive products between +2°C and +8°C for up to 8 hours even with multiple openings. Validation documentation assures you that the controlled product will be safe in transit. Porters are available in various sizes allowing flexibility in vaccine transportation.
Each Porter comes with a lightweight fully replaceable polystyrene inner surrounded by a strong bag with secure Velcro fastening and a tamper evident facility. In order to maintain the validation for each Porter, regular visual and weight checks are to be carried out to the cool pack ensuring the weight and product is not compromised. The polystyrene inner will also need to be checked for and chips or damage. These signs could affect the validations and will need to be replaced before use.
To learn more or to request a product demonstration please call 0800 0328 428 or email sales@helapet.co.uk.

Female Luer Lock Connectors / Tamper-evident IV Syringe Cap
As part of our growing portfolio of sterile syringe caps and transfer devices, Helapet Ltd have today unveiled new sterile consumable products for 2017.
Female Luer Lock Connectors for luer lock syringes facilitate safe, contaminant-free transfer of fluids from a master syringe into smaller doses. Manufactured using latex-free and non-pyrogenic materials, our double ended Luer Lock Connectors can be securely applied to male luer lock syringes preventing the risk of leaking and possible contamination.
Technicians now have more control in the sterile preparation of syringes, with a choice of Luer Lock Connectors to suit individual application. The Female Luer Lock Connector has an ergonomic, rounded design with a spacious pathway to facilitate rapid and efficient transfer of fluids between syringes. Our unique Luer Lock Micro Channel Connector includes a narrow bore pathway for precise transfer of smaller doses, leaving minimal residual waste between syringes. Delivering valuable accuracy the Luer Lock Micro Channel Connector is perfect for paediatric medicines, small syringe sizes and high value medications.
Both Luer Lock Connectors are supplied individually blister packed making them deal for disinfection and non-touch application to the syringe.
Tamper-evident IV Syringe Caps for luer lock syringes are a practical, cost-effective solution for the protection of syringes once they have left the sterile preparation area. An easy-to-use alternative to sticky tamper-evident tape or shrink wrap, Tamper Evident IV Syringe Caps maintain the product integrity of the syringe and allows clinical professionals to visually identify any evidence of tampering before administration.
Manufactured from latex-free materials, each cap can be applied to a luer lock syringe using the specially designed sterile tray packaging. Each sterile tray contains ten caps that are individually secured with a simple twist of the syringe, negating the risk touch contamination and enhancing aseptic technique. Simple and easy-to-use, Helapet's new Tamper Evident IV Syringe Caps offer excellent value in maintaining drug safety.

Oct 2015 - Oct 2015 - 2015 is coming to an end...
As we enter the last few months of 2015 we would like to welcome you to Issue 5 of our quarterly Newsletter.
This issue sparks up quite a change for Helapet Ltd. Our Managing Director John Blight will be retiring after ten years of service, being succeeded from January 2016 by Ben Miles who joins us from our sister company Gemini Healthcare Services Ltd.
Also included in this edition is our Inline Disk Filters, an introduction to our cleanroom staff, and information on our Christmas shutdown period.

Oct 2015 - A new year, a new beginning
January marks the start of a big change at Helapet Ltd... Managing Director John Blight will be hanging up his jacket and heading off into retirement.
John joined Helapet in October 2005, initially as Operations Manager before being promoted to General Manager in 2009 and then Managing Director in 2012.
Looking back over these last 10 years we have seen some significant changes within Helapet. Our sales have more than doubled, we have seen the introduction of a field based sales team and overall employee numbers have increased. This growth, both in turnover and staff, necessitated the need to move. Whilst we didn't have to relocate far, this was still a major project and included the construction of the new cleanrooms.
With sales on track to reach record levels in 2015, Helapet is being left in a very good position for John's successor.
Replacing John as Managing Director will be Ben Miles from our sister company, Gemini Healthcare Services Ltd. Ben has been working within the CliniMed group of companies since 2003 and has been a Director since 2007 with responsibilities for Marketing, New Product Development and Regulatory Affairs.
We would like to offer both John and Ben our warm congratulations and look forward to continued success in 2016.
