The NHS is under pressure to reduce spend, cut carbon and build resilience...
... in this 'Webinar Preview' we discuss how departments can remove sterile bottled water reliance, cut operational cost instantly, and reduce their carbon footprint instantly. We cover...
Context & Need for Change
- The NHS must reduce spending by £9 billion this year, achieve Net Zero by 2040, and build supply chain resilience.
- Current reliance on sterile bottled water is costly, carbon-intensive, and vulnerable to supply shortages.
- Bottled water costs are rising faster than inflation (20%+), have hidden handling/storage costs, and are made from high-impact plastics.
What is Medical and Sterile Water?
- Medical water standards vary depending on application (HTMs, EN standards, equipment requirements).
- Sterile water is defined as free from microorganisms (0 CFU) and with endotoxins <0.25 EU/mL.
- NHS currently sources sterile water from bottles (made by distillation), ensuring safety but at significant environmental and financial cost.
Problems with Existing Alternatives
- RO and filter systems deteriorate, become bacterial breeding grounds, and cannot reliably meet sterile standards.
- Traditional distillers are slow, energy-intensive, and cannot keep water sterile once produced.
- Result: many Trusts default to bottled water despite its inefficiencies.
Problems with Bottled Sterile Water
- Cost: Prices up 20% in two years, hidden costs push to £1.50–£5/L.
- Carbon impact: Plastic-intensive, high transport emissions, <9% recycled globally.
- Resilience: National shortages, unpredictable supply, hoarding common.
Introducing MedicalOne
- World’s first miniaturised Vapour Compression Distillation for healthcare.
- Produces >200L/day sterile water at ~1p per litre.
- High purity (meets sterile water standards), no consumables, low maintenance.
- Compact design with real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and single-button operation.
- Automated tank sterilisation via steam cleaning to prevent microbial growth.
Case Studies
- Raigmore Public Dental Service:
Replaced 95 bottles/week (4,531 bottles in 11 months).
Saved £4,772 and 5.1 tonnes CO₂e.
Fully self-sufficient; reliable performance, planning wider rollout. - Liverpool Royal Endoscopy Unit:
Using 5,000 bottles/year.
MedicalOne enables shift from bottled reliance to safe, reusable supply.
Early signs show strong savings and resilience.
Commercial Model
- Subscription model: Fixed monthly fee, unlimited water, instant cost reductions.
- Capital model: ROI <18 months, equivalent cost over 5 years.
- Using >75 bottles/month = immediate savings.
Key Takeaways for NHS Viewers
- MedicalOne is a proven, co-developed NHS technology.
- Eliminates reliance on bottled sterile water.
- Cuts cost, carbon, and supply risks simultaneously.
- Easy to adopt through trial programme (3 months, no commitment).
- Supports NHS Net Zero and resilience goals.
