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.

SUMMARY:Working with the Welsh NHS: Market access and procurement event
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe National Health Service was very much at the frontline of impact of Covid 19 and this coincided with a huge demand for PPE\, medical equipment\, diagnostics and digital technologies.

SUMMARY:Preparing your NHS Business Case
DESCRIPTION:This interactive and informative event on ‘Preparing your NHS Business Case’ will enable you to prepare better business cases with input from the EMAHSN staff. \nThis free to attend event is being held as part of the ACTIS 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. \nProgramme \nSpeaker Profiles \nPlaces are restricted to one delegate per organisation only.  \n  \nBook Now \n  \nNon-Attendance: should you book on Medilink East Midlands events and fail to attend on two occasions without letting us know\, we reserve the right to refuse to accept bookings from your organisation in the future.

SUMMARY:Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund - Healthy Ageing Event
DESCRIPTION:MediWales & Innovate UK are running an event to support the call for applications and consortiums for the ‘Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund – Healthy Ageing’.\n\nThe largest element of the £98m Healthy Ageing programme\, funded by the government’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF)\, is the ‘Trailblazer’ projects.  £40m will be invested to stimulate new ideas from a wide range of businesses and social enterprises to develop and deliver products\, services and business models at a large scale to support people as they age.  ISCF is led by UK Research and Innovation. \nThe event will be held in Cardiff on the 8th October and led by Cynthia Bullock\, Senior Innovation Lead – Enabling Programmes in the Ageing Society\, Health & Nutrition at Innovate UK who will also be available for 1- 1 meetings on the day. \nThe ISCF Healthy Ageing Challenge will stimulate new ideas for products\, services and business models\, to help us live healthier\, happier and more independent lives as we age. \nOne third of children born this year are expected to live to 100. By 2040\, around one in seven people in the UK are projected to be over the age of 75 (rising from one in 12 today)\, but ageing should not be seen as a burden on society. The over-50s account for 76% of the UK’s financial wealth and nearly half of all consumer spending.  There are great opportunities for business to create products and exploit new markets\, which will bolster our economy and generate jobs. \nAll funded projects will need to show how they tackle one or more of the following essential challenges of older life: \n\nSustaining physical activity\nMaintaining health at work\nDesign for age-friendly homes\nCreating healthy\, active places\nSupporting social connections\nLiving well with cognitive impairment\nManaging common complaints of ageing\n\nThe UK’s world leading academic\, innovation and technology sectors are in prime position to support and enhance our longer lives\, designing new products to keep us active\, productive\, independent and socially connected across generations for as long as possible. \nThe competition will open on 23 September and details of the scope and the application process can be found here. \n\n\nOur event will run from 10.30am-3pm and be FREE TO ATTEND\n\nOrganisations and companies working in the area of Healthy ageing\, digital and wearables etc. are encouraged to attend!\n\nFind out more about the industrial challenge fund here: https://www.ukri.org/innovation/industrial-strategy-challenge-fund/healthy-ageing/\n\nProgramme\n10.30   Arrival & Registration\n11.30   Welcome Address\n11.45   Introduction to UK Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund – Cynthia Bullock\n12.15   Healthy Ageing – Tom Dyer Tenovus : Cancer Charity\n12.30   Healthy Ageing – Deborah Morgan : Swansea University\n12.45   Q&A\n1.00     Networking lunch\n1-1 Sessions with UKRI\n3.00 Close \nRegister Here\nFill out my online form.
