UK National NHS Shortages Database
Welcome to Solutions the UK National NHS Shortages Database.
This site is the latest development of a newsletter that started a number of years ago, detailing manufacturing problems of medical products for departments within the University College London Hospitals NHS Trust.
The idea proved a success within our own hospital, and interest became so great that its distribution was gradually expanded to hospitals on a national basis via e-mail, fax and post.
We hope that the Solutions web site will improve on this service and become invaluable to our users in the communication and management of pharmaceutical supply problems.
The site contains many useful features to ensure you get the most from it. The Product Shortage Information is updated on a daily basis, and is fully searchable. The most significant pharmaceutical supply shortages are readily identifiable at a glance in our Critical Drugs section, which also offers advice on how to deal with the problem.
