POLITE REQUEST FOR URGENT ACTION: Improving segregation of clinical waste in General Practices and Community Pharmacies

On the 10th November 2025, community pharmacies were sent a message via Anenta’s Vector
system about the importance of segregating your clinical waste.

They wish to remind pharmacies and GP practices that the correct segregation of clinical waste is really important both for legal compliance and to comply with current legislation. Correct segregation can also
reduce clinical waste costs; this supports working towards achieving the NHS Green agenda.

The Office of the West Midlands has requested support from GP’s and Community Pharmacies in completing a  a short questionnaire about the service you receive from Anenta Ltd, the Clinical Waste Managing Agent for all of the 11 Midlands ICBs, and also your individual current clinical waste collection service provider. This should take no more than 5 minutes of your time.

The link to the survey is here and more information can be found in the letter sent to all GP’s and Community Pharmacies here. Letter to all GP and Community Pharmacies re clinical waste segregation November 2025
