Healthy results for Public Health Wales
The Challenge
Public Health Wales (PHW) is the national agency that works together with 10 other organisations to form NHS Wales.
During the pandemic, the race was on to develop effective vaccines. By late 2020, clinical trials of candidate vaccines were showing success and PHW began preparations to vaccinate the 3.136 million population of Wales.
Along with the logistical challenge of vaccine distribution, the population needed information about the vaccines and a record card to record their doses. PHW turned to CDS Print Services to help print, store and distribute a range of leaflets and record cards to support their vaccination programme.
The Solution
Working weekends and utilising multiple print suppliers, CDS Print Services managed the procurement and printing of over 900,000 leaflets and record cards. On 11 December 2020, the resources were ready for delivery to the storage and distribution centre in order to be ready for use from 23 December 2020. CDS Print Services began the distribution to vaccination centres and GPs from the start of 2021.
