FOR CLINICAL WASTE IN ALL COMMUNITY PHARMACIES AND GP PRACTICES IN THE MIDLANDS REGION (INCLUDING COVID-19 VACCINATION WASTE)

If you are operating your vaccination centre from an external site and have a separate arrangement in place, then you must cancel this and contact your routine provider to arrange for this waste to also be picked up by them. Anenta can help you with this if required.

Please note that Anenta now deal with all clinical waste queries on behalf of NHS England and NHS Improvement, and it is very important that you register with them if you have not already done so.  The Pharmacy and GP teams at NHS England & Improvement Midlands will no longer deal with your queries regarding Clinical Waste.

 Please see below the information and a reminder on how to register.

Please replace the contact details that you currently have for any Clinical Waste queries with the details below:

 What are the benefits of Anenta handling clinical waste queries?

• Anenta will manage all contract related matters, operational and financial validations issues while working with all waste producers and contractors to improve compliance and efficiency levels.
• Anenta will manage all queries with regards to clinical waste collection from Community Pharmacies and GP practice

What won’t Anenta be responsible for?

• Anenta will not be responsible for collecting the waste from Community Pharmacy and GP sites as this will remain the function of your existing provider
