Use better. Use less: optimising time and resources for the best possible care

As the demands of care and staff workloads are increasing, managing budgets and resources has become ever more challenging. But value is about more than unit prices. It is about efficiency and maximising your business’s time and resources to offer the best possible care. We think about this bigger picture when approaching everything from product design and innovation to sustainability. Viewing continence care at a longer-term, more human level, where everyone benefits.

It's an approach we have that benefits residents, patients, care staff and business. It's common sense, that also makes financial sense. Use better. Use less.

Using TENA means...

Use better, use less in action

Fewer leaks means fewer products used

Fewer leaks also means that fewer products are used, which is better for business and the environment.

Fewer products means less laundry

Fewer products means less laundry, which frees up valuable staff time and saves energy costs.

More efficiency means more time to care

Lower costs and greater efficiency help businesses focus on the human side of continence care.

Proving the value of person-centred care

When Essity and the NHS carried out an eight-week study, the goal was to show the benefits of person-centred care – where individual needs took priority over price per unit. The result was better care, more efficiency and an annual cost saving of around £500 million (approx 980 million AUD)2.
