Established in 1989, BVM Medical Ltd specializes
in the distribution of innovative high-tech implantable medical
devices for the Cardiovascular, Interventional and Surgical markets.
In addition to providing research, product evaluation and clinical
trials, the company offers Intensive and Special Care Units 24-hour
on-call specialist technical back-up as well as emergency deliveries,
with the objective of improving patient care and treatment outcomes.
Based at Hinckley in Leicestershire, the company
has 18 full-time members of staff. Neha Chande is responsible for
all the company's HR procedures and for ensuring that the necessary
management systems are in place. In June 2005, with the help of
IMSM, BVM Medical successfully achieved ISO 9001 certification and,
just a month later, also gained OHSAS 18001.
In August 2005 Neha told us: "After having discussions
with several providers, BVM were impressed by the helpfulness of
IMSM and how they offered clear and concise guidance on how to gain
both the quality management and health and safety management standards."
She explained, "In order to make an application
for tenders to hospitals, it is becoming a standardized requirement
that the applicants have this quality standard. Being ISO 9001 certified
shows that we have our strategies in place. Another advantage of
adopting set quality management procedures is that we have improved
efficiency and productivity within the company.
"Needless to say, BVM Medical are totally committed
to keeping abreast with all new issues appertaining to Health &
Safety. To aid compliance with the increasing legislation, it is
important for us to maintain up to date H&S standards.
"As the two management systems link with one
another, it was advantageous to implement them at the same time,
saving time and money."
