Things to consider:
- Lockable Drawers: Essential for securing medications and sensitive information. Ensure that the lock mechanism is user-friendly and reliable.
- Drawer Dividers: Adjustable dividers help organize various sizes of items, making it easy to find what you need quickly.
- Accessory Bins: These can be added to the cart for additional storage of smaller items like syringes, bandages, or PPE, keeping everything accessible.
- Durable Construction: Look for carts made from materials that withstand frequent cleaning and can handle the wear and tear of a medical environment.

- Surface Space: A flat top can provide additional workspace for documentation or quick access to items.
- Color-Coded Storage: Consider carts that offer colour options to categorise medications or supplies for easy identification.
- Compatibility with Technology: Some carts can accommodate laptops or tablets for record-keeping or monitoring.
- Customisation Options: Many manufacturers offer customisable configurations to meet specific needs.
