Our Social Value Plan: Making a Difference
Here at DP Medical, we’re committed to creating meaningful social, economic and environmental value through our operations, partnerships and employee initiatives.
As a growing SME, our social value strategy focuses on enhancing international access to healthcare, supporting our local community and promoting a positive work environment for our employees and encouraging sustainable practices.

As a trusted supplier of medical innovations across ENT, dental, gynaecology and surgical fields, we’re committed to utilising our expertise and resources to support causes both locally and globally, with a special focus on health and education.
This includes donating vital equipment, essential medical care and specialised training to support global outreach programmmes, funding life-changing technology, such as our recent partnerships with two schools for the Deaf in both Ireland and the UK, and supporting initiatives that reflect our values and raising vital funds for charities close to our hearts.
A key part of this is giving our time. Every member of our team is encouraged to volunteer, with a combined total of more than 40 days allocated across the company to doing so throughout the year. For 2026 we are working with two nominated charities: Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity and Surrey Hills.
Additionally, staff-led fundraising is important to us and demonstrated by the dedication of our staff, who champion charitable causes close to their hearts through ambitious personal challenges. Our employees have successfully completed several major events, including the Berlin Marathon, the Three Peaks Challenge, and multiple triathlons, raising significant funds and awareness in the last 5 years.
To support our staff's phenomenal efforts and personal dedication, DP Medical Systems is establishing an annual budget to formally support employee-led fundraising events. This commitment ensures that for every milestone our staff achieves, whether running a marathon, completing a climb, or organising a local event, the company will financially boost their efforts.
If you have a charity or community support opportunity you’d like us to consider, we’d love to hear from you.
At DP Medical, Systems, our commitment to our people is the cornerstone of our social value strategy. We actively work towards a progressive, inclusive and highly supportive workplace where employee welfare and professional development are prioritised.
From adhering strictly to the Living Wage Foundation standard as a minimum, to supporting employee wellbeing through a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme and supporting our team’s work-life balance through flexible working, we’re committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued, secure and able to thrive.
We also invest heavily in training and development so that every member of the team can progress, learn and shape their own career path, with targeted skill development to ensure a high level of operational excellence and leadership capacity within the company.
Additionally, we have formalised a strategic commitment to hiring locally, ensuring our employment and development strategy directly enriches our community by providing sustainable careers and investing in local talent and supplier pipelines.
We’re equally passionate about making sure our working environment reflects our values of fairness, quality and inclusivity. That’s why we continually review and strengthen our approach to diversity and inclusion, communication and employee engagement.
For us, taking care of our people isn’t just the right thing to do, it strengthens our service and gives our customers confidence that they’re partnering with a business built on genuine care and integrity.
