Globus is a leading provider of innovative sustainable safety solutions, protecting people in industry and healthcare for over 30 years. With innovation at our core, we have a wide product offering including hand, eye, head, hearing, and respiratory protection, as well as protective clothing. We are also committed to operating as an environmentally responsible company, to become a positive contributor to the UN sustainability goals. We don’t just want to meet the minimal required standards; we want to set our sustainability bar as high as we possibly can, moving beyond carbon-neutral goals to a Net Zero carbon reduction strategy.
Approach to Healthcare
At Globus, our approach to healthcare is both patient and healthcare professional centric. Our Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) enables professionals to fulfil their role confidently and comfortably, knowing they are protected to the highest standard. By equipping providers with effective PPE that enables them to do the best job possible, Globus take pride in being a small part of improving patient experience and outcomes.
Our solutions also consider workforce diversity; our respiratory protection achieves excellent Face Fit test pass rates across a wide range of face shapes and sizes.
Impact of Product/Services on Healthcare
A common issue within the healthcare PPE industry is that one size of PPE does not fit all. Our range of PPE fits and protects a diverse healthcare workforce to support inclusivity and keep everyone safe.
The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of a strong supply chain. During the pandemic, we expanded our UK manufacturing base and continue to invest in our capability, helping to provide a resilient supply chain that can scale to keep healthcare professionals safe in a pandemic.
Innovation
Globus are continually improving and innovating PPE products to advance safety and comfort for the healthcare workforce.
Recent innovations include our hood for the HCID ensemble, developed with leading experts in the NHS. The hood is adjustable to provide a comfortable fit and protection for all wearers, keeping healthcare professionals safe, comfortable, and able to provide patient care for longer durations.
Another key recent launch is our new Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR). The modular kit is lightweight, has three sensory warnings to ensure safety and compliance, and is easy to decontaminate. The PAPR also keeps wearers protected and able to work for extended periods of time comfortably.
Future Direction
Within the healthcare sector, Globus continues to invest in UK manufacturing and supply chain resilience to ensure preparedness for pandemics. We also have new and exciting additions to our product offerings in the pipeline, to continually improve PPE compatibility, fit and comfort.
As well as providing products healthcare teams can rely on, Globus post-sales support sets us apart. Our team of respiratory experts include Fit2Fit accredited Fit Testers who provide comprehensive training and support to healthcare professionals. This ensures that wearers receive the highest level of expertise and can be confident that they are adequately protected with correct fitting respiratory equipment.
