Specialist same day medical courier service from Lerwick for samples, specimens, pharmaceuticals, and clinical equipment. Chain-of-custody tracking, vetted drivers, and GDP-aligned handling on every Lerwick job.
Get a QuoteLerwick hospitals, clinical laboratories, GP networks, and pharmaceutical companies use Maine Couriers as their same day medical courier partner. We move samples, specimens, blood, biopsies, urgent prescriptions, clinical trial materials, and lab equipment between Lerwick sites and onward across the UK on dedicated vehicles with proper chain-of-custody handling.
Our Lerwick medical drivers are briefed on each consignment's specific handling requirements before they collect: chilled samples stay in their temperature-controlled containers, dry-ice shipments are managed within their permitted timing window, controlled drugs follow the documented chain-of-custody handover, and bulky equipment is loaded and secured to the same standard as a regular freight job.
Lerwick customers in healthcare and pharma audit our processes regularly. The chain-of-custody trail on each Lerwick job is auditable, the driver vetting records are maintained, the GDP-aligned procedures are documented, and any incident is logged with a root-cause review attached. None of that is optional — it's the baseline for staying contracted in Lerwick medical work.
