SUMMARY:Swiss-Welsh Life Science Dialogue: Future Collaboration Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:The Embassy of Switzerland and the Swiss Business HUB UK & Ireland are holding a Panel Discussion and Business Networking Event at Cardiff Castle on Wednesday 28th June in collaboration with Welsh Government and MediWales. \nSwitzerland is home to a globally unique Life Science cluster. In addition to chemical and pharmaceutical firms\, this encompasses a dense network of medtech\, biotech and nanotech companies. Thanks to leading universities\, research-based pharmaceutical companies and the availability of high-quality scientists\, the Swiss Life Science industry is among the most innovative and productive worldwide. The Welsh Life Science industry currently employs more than 12\,000 people in over 360 companies with an approximate turnover of £2bn. Wales has world-leading academic expertise and a central Life Science Hub\, which catalyses innovation and collaboration between industry\, health\, social care and academia. \nAfter a first successful Swiss-Welsh Life Science Dialogue in June 2022\, this follow-up event will allow participants to exchange on challenges that the sector is facing in both countries and learn from each other. It will be an opportunity to identify areas for future cooperation and share good practices in access to talent\, R&D and financing. The evening will conclude with a networking reception with Swiss wines and canapés. \nTo find out more\, or to register your interest in the event\, please contact Ella here.

SUMMARY:MediWales & DTR Medical: Continuing ENT Diagnosis Throughout COVID-19 Safely
DESCRIPTION:DTR Medical\, in partnership with MediWales\, bring you a webinar focused around the importance of the continuation of Nasendoscopy procedures during the pandemic\, and how the SNAP\, Endoscope Guide\, will enable these to continue throughout the Coronavirus pandemic. The SNAP device won the 2020 MediWales Innovation Award for industry partnership with the NHS. \nCOVID-19 has heavily affected all our lives and how our health service is able to treat patients. In 2018\, about 500\,000 Nasendoscopies were performed in the UK\, however\, figures during the first peak of COVID-19 suggested that only 8% of these were able to take place. \nThere is a large risk to both ENT Surgeons and Speech & Language Therapists whilst carrying out a Nasendoscopy procedure and the Clinician is at significantly higher levels of contracting COVID-19. The SNAP\, Endoscope Guide aims to provide better safety and care for both the Patient and Clinician. \nThe device ensures safe passage of a Nasendoscopy through a Surgical Mask\, creating an aperture for the Endoscope to pass through into the Nasal Cavity. This meaning that any coughs\, splutters\, or sneezes throughout the procedure are caught in the Mask\, which is easily disposed of after use. \nDTR Medical and endoscope-i have collaborated in the development of the essential product and helping to bring it to market. This innovative device will enable ENT Clinicians and Speech & Language Therapists to return to Nasendoscopies. This procedure is critical in the diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancer\, by reducing COVID-19 risks for the healthcare professional. \nSign-ups before Wednesday 10th February 2021 will receive a free SNAP sample for the webinar[1]. \nAgenda: \nChair – Gwyn Tudor\, CEO\, MediWales \n13:00 – 13:10 Introduction to Webinar \n13:10 – 13:20 Innovia Medical – Who are we & what do we do? \n13:20 – 13:30 Overview of Nasendoscopy procedure \n13:30 – 14:00 What is the SNAP\, Endoscope Guide? (intention of the design\, the development process) \n14:00 – 14:30 Why should I use the SNAP & why is it needed? (Perceived benefits from a Clinicians perspective) \n14:30 – 15:00 Live Demonstration (how to use the SNAP) \n15:00 – 15:30 Q&A Session \n  \nThis webinar is free to all\, please register using the form below. \n  \nPlease note\, your information will be shared with MediWales & DTR Medical \nFill out my online form.\n \n[1] Samples are intended for demonstration purposes only and are not suitable for in procedure use\, offer is valid on Webinar sign-ups before the 10th of February 2021 and is subject to available stock. DTR Medical reserves the rights to change these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice.
