Micro-Tech UK distributes medical devices to the NHS and private hospitals within the United Kingdom. We source the vast majority of our products from our highly regarded parent company Micro-Tech Nanjing and from a very small number of other suppliers across the globe. We take extra care to source all of our products from responsible well run organisations who have a strong anti-slavery policy in place and senior managers of Micro-Tech UK visit, assess and audit our suppliers regularly to ensure our suppliers are held to the highest standards of workplace standards.

Our Modern Slavery and Anti-Slavery policies are as follows:
