Healthcare Delivery Services for Medical Gases

Customers need only stock the optimum level of gas cylinders, consequently reducing risks.

Security of supply

BOC Healthcare supplies medical gas throughout the UK.

We have our own manufacturing plants, as well as operating filling and distribution sites nationwide.

Our proven approach to security of supply ensures continuous production and distribution even in the case of plant failure.

• widest national medical gas coverage in the UK
• infrastructure disaster-proofed to maintain supplies

Flexible delivery options

BOC Healthcare offers a range of delivery options to suit every level of need.

No matter how fast and efficient your systems and your teams, without a sure, uninterrupted gas supply, life-saving actions would be at risk.  Safeguarding patients' lives is our top priority.

You can choose from aided and unaided deliveries, either day or night, whichever best meets your needs.

Standard delivery service

Our standard delivery service provides a next-day service for orders placed at our Customer Service Centre by 5pm.

This is an aided delivery service, where you are present to assist the BOC delivery driver in accessing the gas store at the time of delivery.  

Regular ‘Milkround’ scheduled delivery

This unaided service (day or night) gives you a reliable 'Milkround' delivery service.

Our driver will exchange your empty cylinders with full ones on agreed days, so you will never need worry about running out.

Multipoint deliveries

Some hospital and ambulance trusts have a requirement for multiple drops within a single site, or complex of sites, within the same local area.  

BOC Healthcare can arrange to provide multipoint deliveries to suit your needs.

Emergency backup

BOC Healthcare can provide an emergency delivery in the event of stocks becoming unexpectedly low. 

We endeavour to provide a fast response to any emergency delivery order, aiming to replenish within four hours.
