What to Expect from a Pharmacy Medical Controlled Drugs Cabinet

When you purchase a controlled drugs cabinet from Pharmacy Medical, you can expect a high-quality product manufactured by skilled UK engineers and designed specifically for the secure storage of controlled drugs.

Each cabinet is engineered to maximise internal storage capacity, with most models featuring height-adjustable shelving. Multiple shelf positions allow users to configure the interior to suit their requirements, ensuring efficient use of the available space. Selected models also incorporate door-mounted shelving, providing additional storage and helping to make the most of every inch of cabinet capacity.

Constructed from robust 1.5mm thick mild steel and fully welded for strength and durability, every cabinet is designed to provide secure and reliable storage. A full-length plated piano hinge further enhances structural integrity and security, ensuring compliance with the standards expected for controlled drug storage in the UK.

Controlled Drugs Cabinets for Installation Within Medicine Cabinets

In some healthcare environments, particularly care homes, it may be necessary to install a controlled drugs cabinet within a larger medicines cabinet. This arrangement is sometimes specified by regulators or local governance requirements.

To meet this need, Pharmacy Medical offers a range of cabinets specifically designed for integration within selected medicines cabinets. The CDC001, CDC002, and CDC905 models have been manufactured to fit within Pharmacy Medical’s standard medicines cabinet range, with the exception of the MED100 and MED230 models.

Important Considerations

There are specific regulations and best-practice requirements governing the installation of a controlled drugs cabinet inside another cupboard. Not every controlled drugs cabinet is suitable for this type of installation, and equally, the CDC001, CDC002, and CDC905 models are not compatible with every host cabinet.

If you are unsure which solution is appropriate for your environment, the Pharmacy Medical team can provide advice and guidance to ensure your installation remains compliant, secure, and fit for purpose.
