The Room of Choice Clinical Delivery SOP is a standard operating procedure for delivering medical and scientific equipment to its final point of use: the ward, theatre, laboratory or treatment room, not the loading bay.
It is written for Estates and EBME teams, hospital and laboratory managers, procurement leads and equipment manufacturers who need to know exactly how a delivery will be carried out in a live clinical building, or who want a standard to hold a logistics supplier to.
The procedure covers the checks made before dispatch, then seven steps on site: arrival and sign-in, route inspection and protection, PPE and infection control, unloading and internal movement, placement in the agreed room, packaging removal, and documented handover. It also sets out conduct standards for clinical areas, the procedure for stair climber work where lifts are unavailable, what must be escalated, and the records produced, including proof of delivery, serial verification and photographs.
The SOP is clear about what a delivery does not include. Calibration, commissioning and clinical sign-off stay with the manufacturer or the trust unless agreed in writing.
Use it as a reference when planning an installation, or as an appendix to a tender or service agreement. Our healthcare and scientific logistics team works to this procedure on every clinical delivery.
