We’d also like to remind colleagues that, when disposing of clinical sharps, the sticky labels must not be stuck over the manufacturer’s label(s) on the containers; if this has happened, then the sharps for disposal will not be collected.
If you have any queries, please contact waste@eastamb.nhs.uk.
