A courier service that understands clinical items need more than speed
Medical shipments are not ordinary parcels. Specimens have a limited window. Pharmaceuticals need proper handling conditions. Equipment can be fragile and expensive. The courier who collects these items needs to treat them accordingly, and the vehicle should carry nothing else.
National Mile provides dedicated vehicle transport for healthcare consignments. That means your items travel alone, on a direct route, collected and delivered by one driver with confirmation when the job is done. If a shipment needs specific handling conditions, let us know when booking and we will confirm what we can arrange.

Built for clinical items
A dedicated vehicle carrying only your medical consignment, travelling directly between healthcare facilities with the handling that clinical items require.
Fast but not specialist
A standard same day courier collects and delivers quickly on a dedicated vehicle, but may not account for the specific handling that clinical items need.
Not suitable for most clinical items
Shared parcel networks sort items through multiple depots alongside thousands of other packages. The handling, timing and conditions are unsuitable for most medical consignments.
Collecting and delivering across the country
Whether a specimen needs to travel from a GP surgery to a central laboratory across the city, or equipment needs to reach a hospital several hundred miles away, we arrange dedicated medical courier transport across the UK.
