We are advising our customers to seriously consider ordering with a buffer of 1-3 months worth of stock as lead time for PPE such as gowns and aprons is now up to 30 days including shipping to the UK even via express air freight. Under the extensive lead times currently required (and increasing) and the inherent uncertainty in the situation we are advising our customers, including NHS and care homes, to put in orders now and plan to stock up for the near future'.
