In recent years, Specials Laboratory have launched a number of services to assist hospitals across the UK. They provide hospitals with a space and time saving Over Labelling service, which involves the bespoke design and labelling of products.

Specials Laboratory offer a service to manufacture Investigational Medicinal Products (IMPs), in order to meet the supply needs of hospital-based clinical trials. Specials Laboratory has three sites and each are licensed to offer a IMP manufacturing service for non-sterile medicines for use in small clinical studies. This GMP manufacturing service supports clinical trial pharmacists and technicians, University medical schools and research doctors carrying out such trials and requiring an outsourced manufacturing partner.
