Life Couriers is proud to announce that we are expanding our specialist Radiopharma Logistics service into the United Kingdom.
Recognised as the No. 1 provider of radiopharmaceutical transport in the United States and Europe, we’re bringing over 45 years of experience in the safe, time-critical delivery of nuclear medicines to support patients and healthcare providers across the UK.
The Life Couriers UK operation is already home to our multi award-winning Direct-to-Patient delivery service. Now, with the introduction of Radiopharma Logistics, we’re addressing a gap in the UK healthcare logistics market — offering a globally-integrated service that will ensure the secure, regulatory-compliant, and ultra-reliable delivery of these vital radioactive pharmaceuticals, essential for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
“Launching Radiopharma Logistics in the UK is a major milestone for us. We know from our extensive work across the US and Europe just how critical these deliveries are for patient care,” says Peter Smith, Managing Director of Life Couriers UK.
“Our UK teams are experts in zero-failure delivery, and have been rightly recognised in recent years with multiple awards and an industry leading service level of 99.9%. As we now move into handling highly specialised, time-sensitive materials, we’re excited to bring that capability to support the UK healthcare system with a service that sets new standards for reliability, care and a patient-first mentality.”
Meeting highly complex requirements with global integration
Life Couriers’ Radiopharma Logistics service is designed to meet the highly complex requirements of nuclear medicine transport, with a strong emphasis on security, regulatory compliance, and real-time tracking. Each shipment is handled with precision to maintain the strict time and temperature sensitivities essential for radiopharmaceutical efficacy.
This geographical expansion of our Radiopharma Logistics is part of our goal to offer a globally-integrated solution for the movement of radiopharmaceuticals. By strengthening the links between domestic and international cyclotrons, hospitals, and ultimately patients, we’re helping to create a more secure, efficient, and resilient supply chain. This global integration ensures faster, more dependable access to life-saving nuclear medicines, especially when materials need to cross borders quickly and compliantly.
Expanding into the UK marks the next step in our ongoing mission to deliver world-class healthcare logistics solutions, wherever they are needed most.
