Why Use a Medical Courier?
If you’re operating within the healthcare industry, then opting for a medical courier is key in ensuring your medical consignments are delivered safely, securely, efficiently, and quickly. Urgency is of highest importance in the medical field, and medical couriers undertake truly lifesaving work at all hours of the day to support the medical industry.
The transportation of urgent medical equipment and items is often a matter of life and death, which is why it is essential to ensure your medical courier is highly rated and experienced in moving critical, sensitive, and urgent goods. Opting for a medical courier that offers same day delivery and works through all hours of the day, much like those working within the medical field, is key.

What Services Can a Medical Courier Provide?
A qualified medical courier can transport a huge array of medical consignments and scientific goods. These may include fragile medical and scientific testing equipment, lifesaving and temperature-sensitive drugs and medicines, protective masks and garments (PPE), vital lifesaving treatments and biohazardous waste, amongst many other things.
Speedy Freight is experienced in the field of urgent medical courier work and licensed for ADR transport of hazardous and biomedical waste. We can transport essential items to our clients safely, quickly, and reliably.
A qualified medical courier for healthcare providers, like Speedy Freight, is also able to undertake the transportation of organs and blood donations, which render their services vital to those performing lifesaving procedures and operations.
Urgent medical couriers like Speedy Freight can move items for their healthcare clients in a matter of hours. The time-sensitive nature of these goods and deliveries means tight timekeeping is imperative and a reliable service is necessary.
What Are the Challenges of Transporting Medical Goods?
When it comes to transporting pharmaceutical and medical goods, such as medicines and vials, compliance and experience are vital, as these goods may have complex storage requirements. Medicine that is not properly handled during transportation can rapidly deteriorate and can be rendered unusable by the time it gets to its destination.
Of course, unlike the spoiling of other perishable materials like food or floral arrangements, this medical waste could cost the client in more ways than one, which is why Speedy Freight is dedicated to couriering medicine safely, efficiently and in complete compliance with medical guidelines and procedures for the transportation of medical supplies.
Can You Ship Temperature-Sensitive Medications by Courier?
The sensitivity of certain pharmaceutical and medical products to changes in temperature is a major consideration when shipping these types of goods.
Not all couriers are able to provide the dedicated, reliable service required to ensure the safe and vital transportation of medical goods. If you’re transporting medical goods that need to remain at ambient, refrigerated, or frozen temperatures, then you’ll want to ensure that temperature-controlled vehicles are part of your chosen courier’s fleet, and readily available when needed.
Speedy Freight know that the slightest rise or fall in temperature can have a dramatic impact, which is why we closely always monitor the status of our vehicles. The temperature required varies from delivery to delivery, which is why our trucks can be carefully calibrated to each client’s specific needs.
Our drivers are highly trained and experienced in the handling of refrigerated goods. Even though this form of courier work can be challenging, all our drivers have received the necessary training to handle any pharmaceutical and medical supplies that need to be refrigerated.
Speedy Freight’s drivers will ensure that your delivery remains at the temperature requested throughout the journey, keeping your products safe throughout their journey.
