We’re proud to announce a major milestone for Orion Medical Supplies Ltd.
Orion has acquired Vernacare’s Harm Reduction business, known as Frontier NX — strengthening our position as a leading specialist provider within the UK harm reduction market.
This strategic acquisition significantly enhances our ability to support Public Health teams, NHS partners, pharmacies, and charities with comprehensive, specialist needle and syringe provision. It reflects our continued investment in the sector and our long-term commitment to organisations working on the frontline.
As part of the agreement, we have entered into an exclusive partnership with Vernacare, whereby Orion will source all sharp containers from Vernacare. This ensures our customers benefit from industry-leading, high-quality sharps containment solutions alongside our specialist harm reduction expertise.
By bringing the Frontier NX range under Orion’s focused leadership, we are:
• Expanding our product portfolio
• Strengthening supply chain resilience
• Enhancing service delivery across the UK
• Accelerating innovation within harm reduction services
For over 19 years, Orion has worked closely with Public Health, NHS, local authorities and charitable organisations to deliver needle and syringe programmes, bespoke pharmacy kits, and managed waste solutions. This acquisition enables us to go even further — offering greater scale, deeper expertise, and an even stronger platform for growth.
Most importantly, this move reinforces our shared commitment to supporting the most vulnerable in our communities with safe, sustainable, and reliable harm reduction solutions.
This is an exciting new chapter for Orion — and for the partners and communities we serve.
