DESCRIPTION:SEHTA and Hill Dickinson are delighted to announce our launch our “Building Solid Commercial Foundations for Healthtech SMEs Workshop” on Tuesday 17th December in London. \nThis workshop is designed for Medical Device\, Diagnostics and Digital companies \nDate: Tuesday 17th December 2019 \nVenue: Hill Dickinson\, Broadgate Tower\, 20 Primrose Street\, London EC2A 2EW \nTimes: 10:30 – 16:00 \nCost: SEHTA Members £220 + VAT / Non-members – £275 + VAT pp \nNot a member of SEHTA?- it’s free to join -click here to join \nThis event is kindly supported by \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the earliest stage of  your companies’ development\, you will have to grapple with a whole host of things besides the technology. Things like corporate structure\, regulatory requirements\, collaboration arrangements\, protecting your Intellectual Property and investment issues. A little further along\, you may need to re-visit all of the above\, consider licensing agreements (including royalties)\, sales contracts and perhaps company valuation in order to secure investment. While many SMEs believe that most of the above can be tackled through common sense and the internet\, it is highly likely that many SMEs will have to engage with organisations which have more legal firepower and know-how and you could come a cropper without some solid commercial foundations\, understanding and help – this workshop is designed to provide just that. \nThis one-day event will:- \n\nHelp you understand the pros and cons of different corporate vehicles\, and how to set up and structure them (including shareholder agreements)\nHelp you to understand the key early stage regulatory issues relevant to Healthtech start ups\, including MHRA and GDPR requirements\nHelp you understand the IP being developed in your company’s products and how to protect it\nHelp you understand options for Routes to Market and key issues for Collaboration and Partnership Agreements with other companies\, the NHS\, and universities\nHelp you develop a rational basis to value your company and understand different forms of investment\n\nTarget Market: SME CEOs and Boards\, university and NHS innovators\, healthtech support organisations and consultancies. \nPlaces are limited so register your interest today!  The organisers reserve the right to review all applications and notification will be sent by 6th December at the latest. \n\n\n\n\n\nTime\nProgramme\nSpeaker\n\n\n10:30 -10:45\nRegistration & Refreshments\n\n\n\n10:45 – 10:55\nWelcome & Introduction \n \nNeil Roberts\, COO\, SEHTA\n\n\n10:55 – 11:25\nCorporate structure and shareholder agreements \n \nJonathan Morris\, Partner\, Hill Dickinson\n\n\n11:25 – 12:05\nUnderstanding key early stage regulatory issues & protecting IP \nJames Lawford Davies\, Partner and Emma Collins\, Senior Associate\, Hill Dickinson \n \n\n\n12:05 – 13:00\nNetworking Lunch Break\n\n\n\n13:00 – 13:50\nOptions for Routes to market\nNeil Roberts\, COO\, SEHTA\n\n\n13:50 – 14:30\nPartnership Agreements\nJamie Foster\, Partner\, Hill Dickinson\n\n\n14:30 – 14:45\nRefreshment Break\n\n\n\n14:45 –  15:35\nCompany Valuation \nNick Rodgers\, Chairman\, SEHTA\n\n\n15:35 – 16:00\nEquity investment \nNick Rodgers\, Chairman\, SEHTA\n\n\n16:00\nClose

SUMMARY:The Future of Care: How could robotics and autonomous systems change frontline health and social care?
DESCRIPTION:In the next in our series of ‘Future of Care’ events\, we’ll guide health and care professionals through the latest developments and future opportunities to separate the fact from the fiction. \nWe’ll explore how robotic technologies and autonomous systems provide very real opportunities to change the way we deliver frontline services across all aspects of health and social care. This could be through physical assistive robotics technology supporting rehabilitation\, independent living or improve patient ability and comfort\, or social robots providing cognitive support and enabling social interaction for people who are living alone. \nCan robotics really fulfil all these needs? What are the challenges of implementation? How will robotics impact the way staff work and the type of workforce we need? Do we need to consider the ethical and social issues surrounding the use of this technology? Come along to find out the answers and to pose your own questions. \nFollowing the event\, you’ll have the opportunity to tour the Bristol Robotics Laboratory at the University of the West of England. Places are limited so early booking is recommended. \nConfirmed speakers: \nRobotics in social care: A connected care ecosystem for independent living\, Praminda Caleb-Solly\nSafety of Physically assistive robotics\, Sanja Dogramadzi\nRehabilitatoin Robotics\, Dr Manoj Sivan\nEthical issues in the use of robotic and asistive technology\, Marina Jirotka & Alan Winfield\nA scoping study on the emerging use of Artificial Intelligence & robotics in social care\, Jim Thomas and Diane Buddery \nFor more information and to register click here.

SUMMARY:Precision Medicine: Connecting Industries to UK Excellence
DESCRIPTION:Innovate UK\, KTN & the Precision Medicines Centres of Excellence Network will be hosting an event on Precision Medicine on 30th Jan in London. \nThe UK has embarked on a very ambitious journey to become the home of Precision Medicine. This journey started in 2010 when the precursor to Innovate UK\, the Technology Strategy Board\, and a consortium of Governmental bodies and charities funded the Stratified Medicine Innovation Platform Programme Coordination Group. This was followed a year later with  the publication of a Technology Roadmap\, which identified thematic areas which would need to be addressed to accelerate the research\, development and uptake of stratified medicine in the UK. \nSince then\, millions of pounds have been invested by the UK government in infrastructure and programmes to accelerate the adoption of Precision Medicine into clinical practice.  The UK Government Industrial Strategy identified health data and genomics as key to the development of precision medicine. Furthermore\, the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund invested £210 million to the sector via the Data to Early Diagnosis and Precision Medicine Challenge theme. \nInnovate UK regards Precision Medicine as being any technology that can enable early and accurate diagnosis to inform patient management or selection of therapy. It has historically liaised with six Centres of Excellence in Precision Medicine around the UK with the aim of helping to align existing assets and initiatives in order to enhance the development of new pathways\, products and services and to facilitate their integration within the healthcare system. \nThese Precision Medicine Centres of Excellence – that are based in England\, Wales\, Scotland and Northern Ireland – have been working towards a strategy to ensure that this UK resource is spread across the country and can be accessed by industry and research organisation alike for the benefit of patients. \nOn the 30th of January 2020\, Innovate UK and the Knowledge Transfer Network are collaborating with the PM Centres of Excellence Network to deliver an event at Stamford Bridge in London showcasing existing capability and assets that reside in the UK. This event will also open up the conversation to ensure  other groups working in Precision Medicine in the UK also have a platform to highlight their skills and capabilities. Alison Cave (ISCF Director: Accelerating Detection of Disease at Innovate UK) will be providing the keynote speech. \nFind out more here

SUMMARY:5th Annual MarketsandMarkets Infection Control\, Sterilization and Decontamination in Healthcare Congress
DESCRIPTION:Addressing challenges associated with adoption & implementation of new technologies to fight Healthcare Associated Infections\n\nAround 1 in 20 (6%) of patients are affected by preventable harm in medical care\, of which around 12% causes permanent disability or death\, according to a study published by The BMJ. These infections are contracted by an estimated 1.7 million patients annually and responsible for 99\,000 deaths each year. \nPreventing disease and controlling spread of resistant bacteria is of major importance when tackling antibiotic resistance.  Already\, AMR infections are estimated to cause 700\,000 deaths each year globally\, which is predicted to rise to 10 million\, alongside a cumulative cost of $100 trillion\, by 2020 if no action is taken. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur speaker panel will address challenges associated with adoption & implementation of new technologies to fight Healthcare Associated Infections\, gathering global hospitals presenting case studies\, technologies and innovations to fight possibilities of HAIs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe congress will attract Directors\, Heads\, Doctors\, Nurses\, Consultants\, Clinical Lead\, Deputy Manager from Infection Control\, Sterilization\, Decontamination and Endoscopy departments across UK and Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\nNHS is making a lot of attempts to reuse device-related Healthcare Associated Infections through its standardized training and efficient decontamination process\, but are the primary problems-are we really implementing our method and achieving decontamination efficacy and making the hospital environment free from infection? The 5th Annual MarketsandMarkets Infection Control\, Sterilization and Decontamination in Healthcare Congress aims at providing a platform to all the stakeholders\, to discuss the challenges in maintaining the infection free environment in the hospitals and effective ways to reduce the chances of healthcare associated infections through contaminated medical devices. \nFor more information\, click here.
