As we continue into 2024, we took some time to reflect on the profound impact of the past year and the continued dedication of our teams across all divisions to enhancing patient care and environmental sustainability. 

2023 was marked by remarkable achievements. We saw a big increase in the number of patients registered with our Hospital2Home service, and with that saw a significant rise in our patient interaction, support and care across both our Hospital2Home and Abbott Nurse Advisor Service. Our warehouse team have also been exceptionally busy with over 1 million parcel lines shipped last year. And to top it off, we have made some significant headway in our environmental targets, with more to come in 2024. 

This article takes a deeper look at what 2023 looked like in numbers for our teams.

Our Hospital2Home teams and Abbott Nurse Advisors are dedicated to supporting patients to manage their enteral feeds effectively. By empowering them to manage their own health, with access to support and advice 24/7, our teams have helped to prevent a significant number of hospital referrals:

Patient Orders and Distribution

In response to growing demand for our products and services, we saw a substantial increase in patient orders and parcels despatched, with a 15% rise in patient orders since 2022:

Environmental Sustainability

Beyond patient care, our commitment to environmental sustainability remained unwavering, with significant progress made toward our targets:

As we reflect on the achievements of 2023, we remain steadfast in our mission to advance healthcare and support them to manage their health from home and help reduce the NHS burden in any way that we can. With each milestone reached and every statistic recorded, we reaffirm our commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and our NHS colleagues.
