Hi all,
We will be at some date in the near future in the position to update our infusion devices. We would need to justify the numbers, so to this end we need to know what stock levels we require.
It's no good telling the Trust that we've got 200 volumetrics permanently booked out of the Library so we require 220 replacements when in fact 20 of our volumetrics are sat around on wards doing nothing. We need to keep our books straight.
The whole idea behind the Library was to make sure that the equipment inventory was sound - not too much or too little.
I must add that our Library has managed to save the Trust money. Equipment doesn't stay idle - it's a juggling act.
It would be wrong for the Library to have shelves stacked with equipment because that would be a waste of money.
Time for cider
Cheers
Mark
