SUMMARY:The Waterloo Foundation Annual Meeting Public Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Waterloo Foundation Public Lecture will be delivered by Professor Mary A. Carskadon\, from Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University\, Director\, Chronobiology and Sleep Research Laboratory. \nThere will be a drinks reception from 5-6 pm followed by the lecture 6-7pm. \nHow changes in sleep biology create a perfect storm affecting adolescent well-being \nThe critical role that sleep plays in adolescence is increasingly well documented for a range of areas including brain maturation\, learning\, emotional wellbeing and physical health. Insufficient sleep\, daytime sleepiness and circadian misalignment in adolescence have been variously shown to contribute to reduced quality of life and productivity\, greater risk of depression and obesity\, higher rates of drowsy driving crashes and illness and may increase incidents of anti-social behaviours\, aggression\, substance abuse and self-harm. \nThis presentation will provide an overview of findings and an update of key evidence of the important role of sleep in adolescent development; it will also argue that the ‘perfect storm’ metaphor applies to sleep patterns of adolescents in the sense that developmental trajectories of biopsychosocial factors conspire to limit the quantity of sleep for many adolescents who live in industrial societies in the twenty-first century.

SUMMARY:Preparing your NHS Business Case
DESCRIPTION:With input from the EMAHSN staff\, this interactive and informative event on ‘Preparing your NHS Business Case’ will enable you to prepare better business cases. \nThis free to attend event is being held as part of the INSTILS programme – a project part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund\, click here to be re-directed to further information about the project. \nDuring the event you will also learn about: \n– What is a business case\, what is its purpose and why it is so important? \n– Who reviews the business case and how are they evaluated from a commissioning point of view? \n– How to construct a good business case \nThe Challenge as a supplier to the NHS is often that when you have a product which from your perspective improves patient outcomes and saves cost you still cannot get it adopted by the NHS. This is often because there is not a fully developed business case\, without this a group within the NHS interested in taking on board a new product or service are unlikely to get approval of the case for change before procurement of the innovation can proceed. \nOrganisations that supply to the NHS are often challenged by the process\, timescales\, evidence and documentary requirements. This can often seem like an unnecessary complication\, or simply a reason to not issue a purchase order. A good business case is fundamental to successful adoption and developing a long term business partnership. Preparing the business case can also be difficult for your NHS contacts because they are busy or not experienced in their preparation and often even more difficult for companies with little or no experience of the process. \nDue to limited seating numbers are restricted to one delegate per organisation. \nProgramme \nSpeaker Profiles \nBook Now

SUMMARY:Agile R&D Leaders Creative Workshop & #BiotechBuddies Bristol
DESCRIPTION:Are you a leader of a BioPharma\, Medtech or Healthtech Company\n\n\nAre you interested in meeting with peers to discuss common challenges and to spark creativity?\n\n\nAre you looking to learn from experienced industry professionals? \n\n\nIf your answer is yes to any of these questions\, then this Agile Leader Workshop is for you! \nAgile innovation methods have revolutionized information technology. Over the past 25 to 30 years they have greatly increased success rates in software development\, improved quality and speed to market\, and boosted the motivation and productivity of IT teams. \nNow agile methodologies – which involve new values\, principles\, practices\, and benefits – are a radical alternative to command-and-control-style management – These practices are spreading across a broad range of industries and functions including the C-suite in Life Sciences\, Healthcare and Digital Health. With advances in technologies\, business leaders need to be knowledgeable across a wide range of disciplines – such as multiple science disciplines\, new technology advancements\, general management\, fund raising\, human resources\, clinical development\, manufacturing\, regulatory requirements and quality assurances – which is far too much for any one person to understand completely. \nAs a Business Leader you will benefit from this “Agile” workshop by sharing common challenges and building deeper connections and trust with your peers. In turn the aim is to build your confidence when working in areas normally outside your comfort zone\, by learning and having discussions with this “Agile” peer network. You can speak to people in a similar position about issues you may not have opportunity to discuss else where. You can discuss your healthcare and technology challenges with a view of learning from other peoples experiences to help you find a solution or spark an idea. Why let leaders of emerging companies re-invent the wheel to be successful\, when we can learn from experiences of others who have faced similar challenges before. \nChatham House Rules apply – “what goes on in the workshop\, stays in the workshop – so to speak!” \nOur mission is to start by becoming positive activists. To help you build your innovation enabled healthcare business so it is “fit for purpose\,” truely innovative and attractive to the global markets. Helping you build solid trustworthy networks with your peer group\, and to help spread your creative R&D business network nationally and internationally. \nThis workshop is facilitated by Prof Tony Sedgwick\, the self professed www.ThoughtDisruptor.com.\nTony has an esteemed career in life sciences in academia and in business\, he is a trained pathologist. His accolades include once being the Global Head of Clinical Trials at Roche AG\, and he has also been CEO of four life science companies\, Chairman of over 10 Companies\, and many positions within the academic community. He is also an actively training psychologist which is helping him develop his “Agile” community group development passion\, and a Jiu Jitsu Grand Master. \nWe will start this Agile Leaders Worshop on Monday 24 June 2019 from a 1.00pm arrival (with a prompt 1.30pm start). The Gert Lush Boardroom has been kindly provided by Grant Hawley\, MD\, Digital Circles Technology limited who are experts in Digital Marketing Strategies\, and are developing their own technology platform to connect people in the “future work place” economy.\n \nFor the Agile Leaders Workshop we limit this to 15 people\, the main target being C-level executives of Life science companies. However\, this event in Bristol will very much have a Communications feel about it through the support of Richard Hayhurst\, Richard Hayhurst Associates\, having Mike Ward Chief Editor of Informa plc’s Pharma Intelligence Division which includes world leading titles such as Scrip magazine\, In Vivo\, Pink Sheet and Medtech Insights. We also have Grant Hawley\, MD\, Digital Circles Technology limited who are providing the Workshop venue. Digital Circles Technologies are experts in Digital Marketing Strategies\, and are developing their own technology platform to connect people in the “future work place” economy. We have a special guest from pharma attending\, this is Ananad Guatam who is Head\, External Sci & Innovation\, Australia\, NZ\, & Southeast Asia\, Pfizer. Adjunct Prof\, Uni of Queensland\, Australia.  \nWe are also massively appreciative of sponsorship support from Richard Hayhurst Associates (RHA).  \nRichard Hayhurst Associates provides international pr services for life science companies\, research centres and service providers. Current clients range from diagnostics\, through therapeutics to digital health. Having moved recently to Bath\, Richard is looking to use his previous expertise in profiling hubs such as Scotland\, London\, Oslo Cancer Cluster and Stockholm-Uppsala to help other put the SouthWest and Wales on the global map! \nFor more information go to: www.richardhayhurstassociates.com \nThis Agile event will be attracting a few of the more established life science experts to be on this “self-help community” workshop joined by the fresh thinking “up and coming” future business leaders.

SUMMARY:Health Horizons - Future Healthcare Forum
DESCRIPTION:Health Horizons is a high calibre\, two-day conference focusing on the future of the healthcare industry. \n\n\n\nOver the previous 20 years we have seen a significant change in the healthcare industry. Small molecules have been pushed out of the blockbuster limelight by biologics. Decreasing sequencing cost has allowed more targeted R&D and the use of increasingly interdisciplinary data to influence prognosis has become standard practice. All of this points to a healthcare future with an increasingly personalized approach. But how will this future come together? \nWe are on the brink of a technological revolution in healthcare where data collected from all different sources will influence the way we view\, prevent and cure disease. This approach aims to master the curative means of disease treatment and extend it’s branches into preventive and longevity based means. The constant monitoring from cradle to grave will give insights into how we should live our lives\, how we should eat and even determine where we shall live. \nThe drastic shift in focus expected in the coming years leave many questions about current business models unanswered. Will the ‘old’ models of the small molecule giants suffice when used on biologics? How will precision medicine and patient stratification affect the pricing and affordability of treatment? How will data companies benefit from the pricing turmoil and how big a part will they play in the future of healthcare? \nThe questions are on the near horizon and we aim to address these in the Health Horizons conference 2019. \nWho should attend?\n\nCEOs of innovative biotech and healthcare companies\nCEOs of large multinationals\nHeads of R&D\nStart-up founder\nAcademic researchers\nMedical doctors\nDirectors of innovation at public and private healthcare companies\nChief innovation officers\nInvestors – seed\, series A-B\n\n\nThemes\n\nNovel therapeutic approaches (viruses\, RNA\, gene & cell therapy\, tissue replacement)\nDigital health\, AI and data in healthcare\nCardiometabolic disease\nLongevity\nNew models for funding healthcare innovation\nFuture solutions in CNS\nNanotechnology and sensing in healthcare\nDelivering affordable innovative medicines to patients\nCo-creation between disciplines and stakeholders\nBreakthroughs against the incurables\nHolistic approach to medicine\nHow to revolutionise clinical trials\nFuture of oncology\nRare disease\n\nHealth Horizons aims to deliver 1\,500 attendees\, 100+ speakers and numerous partners for you to access\, plus the opportunity to discuss the most pertinent challenges to the health ecosystems with experts in their respective fields. \nCan you afford to miss out? \nJoin us at Health Horizons – Future Healthcare Forum Where today’s and tomorrow’s leaders meet \nView the Health Horizons – Brochure Here \n \n

SUMMARY:Biopesticide Summit 2019
DESCRIPTION:Bionema Limited and Swansea University are to host the inaugural Biopesticide Summit and exhibition in Swansea University\, United Kingdom in July 2019 to address the pressing need to develop alternatives to chemical crop protection.\n\n\nThe Biopesticide Summit 2019 will focus on developing and introducing innovative and alternative biocontrol solutions that will help protect our food chain in a controlled but timely manner. \nThe Global biopesticides market is increasing and was worth approximately $3.36 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach $8.82 billion by 2022\, at an annual growth rate of 17.4%. \nDespite significant growth in the biocontrol industry\, major limitations with current biopesticide solutions are rarely discussed. There is an urgent need to develop novel products and application technologies to not only “fill the gaps” in the market due to pesticide removal but also to anticipate future requirements as pests and diseases are developing resistance to currently used chemical products.  In additional\, there is increasing consumer led retailer demand for growers to eradicate the use of chemical pesticides in crop production and to grow fruit and vegetables with reduced detectable residues. \n  \n\nBiopesticide Summit 2019 will:\n\n\n\nCover the global challenges facing end-users and regulators today and in the near future.\nExamine new tools and methods being used to accelerate discovery of new biopesticide products.\nHear about innovative technologies\, novel formulations and application strategies; highlighting how they can be used to deliver high quality formulated products for better efficacy in different cropping systems.\nBring together academia\, industry and investors to commercialise novel innovations.\n\nHead over to the website to find out more and register!
