BETTER TOGETHER!

As I get older time just seems to fly by and I find it hard to believe that Dene has been a part of Rocialle for almost six months now, so it seems like a good point to share my thoughts on where we are.

You can imagine that the acquisition was met by Dene’s staff, and management alike, with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Excitedto be a part of a market leading company that we had always admired, due to your history, reputation and unfailingly excellent delivery service. Nervous – quite naturally, about change and the unknown.

To date, we have been delighted with the way things are going. The Senior Leadership Team at Rocialle have been second to none with their focus completely on understanding and improvement, over control. Via this support, Dene Healthcare has been able to leverage the many benefits of the new association with Rocialle Healthcare which has given us a new determination and energy internally.

I recently had the privilege of a site tour at your Mountain Ash site and was introduced to a number of you at Roacialle – thank you all for making me feel so welcome! I’m happy to state with confidence that you have a fantastic, vibrant team of professionals, working in amazing surroundings and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of everyone at Dene Healthcare for the fantastic support you have given us over the years.

We’re all excited to see what the future brings and look forward to going on the adventure with you!

… ROCIALLE DIRECT IS UP AND RUNNING!!!

The Emperor Stoma range is live on the Drug Tariff and we are now receiving sample requests via the website and our Freephone helpline. We hope to start processing NHS Prescriptions in just a few more weeks’ time too (how exciting)!

Our marketing campaign begins with the first of our advertisements published in the two main stoma journals, both these journals are circulated at the beginning of June so we expect to be incredibly busy responding to patient enquiries and sample requests. We’ll make sure there are a few copies of the journals in and around the communal areas so you can see just how our products are helping to support the stoma community.

The Rocialle woundcare range launched in the UK last April is currently being re-branded, and as with stoma will be recognised under the Emperor brand.

The Emperor Woundcare range continues to be available in hospitals as it has been for over a year, but now that we are able to supply in smaller pack sizes we’ve opened up the community market and can supply our woundcare range direct to patients via NHS Prescription.

The availability in the community is a welcome springboard for our sales and we’ll be working hard to embed the range and the brand which we hope will soon become synonymous in the market for both quality and cost effectiveness.

The full offering from Rocialle Direct is showcased on our new dedicated website www.rocialledirect.com take a look around and please let us know what you think!

And please feel free to follow, comment, like and share on the Emperor stoma and Emperor wound socials too, it’s early days for us and your support to spread the word to a wider community would be greatly appreciated.
