Owen Mumford has been appointed as the sole supplier for insulin safety pen needles by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre NHS Trust.
Ateria SafeControl safety pen needles will now be used in all NHS Wales hospital environments, as well as by community nurses who also have access to the new procurement framework. The device is also listed on the Drug Tariff, following its approval for use by the NHS Prescription Services, meaning GP practices are now able to prescribe the device and pharmacists can dispense to suitable patients throughout the UK.
