SUMMARY:Wales Sepsis Summer Ball
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend the Wales Sepsis Summer Ball on Saturday 19th September. \nThe drinks reception will start at 7pm\, followed by dinner and dancing at the Mercure Hotel in Cardiff. This dress code is black tie and cocktails dresses\, and the evening will include a raffle and auction in aid of The UK Sepsis Trust and the Mothers of Africa. \nTickets cost £45 each. Please contact Maria Gundy – 02920 74 31 10 for more information. \nThe Mothers of Africa Charity are helping to prevent expectant mothers in sub Saharan Africa from dying needlessly\, by helping to train medical staff to care for mothers during pregnancy and childbirth. The figures are staggering with 1 in 8 mums dying of childbirth related diseases over a lifetime\, as risk accumulates.  Imagine if your mum had died in childbirth.  Funds raised from this event will help us build a Primary School in Shiyala Zambia\, to help educate tomorrow’s mums. \nUK Sepsis Trust: Sepsis is a life threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. Sepsis leads to shock\, multiple organ failure and death especially if not recognized early and treated promptly.  Unfortunately\, lots of people do not survive with Sepsis being one of our biggest killers both in Wales\, UK and the Developing World! Shocking\, since so few people are aware of it\, but sepsis claims 37\,000 lives every year in the UK and costs the NHS £2.5 billion a year. In comparison\, breast cancer claims less than 8\,000 lives/year.  \nPlease support this event by coming along\, sponsoring the event or advertsing in our brochure.  Both charities are very deserving of your support.  \nProfessor Judith Hall OBE\nTrustee and founder: Mothers of Africa\nSupporter: UK Sepsis Trust in Wales

SUMMARY:Medilink SW & SBRI Healthcare Bristol Briefing Seminar: Reducing Pressure on Urgent and Emergency Care
DESCRIPTION:A new round of Small Business Research Initiative for Healthcare (SBRI Healthcare) competitions have been launched by the SBRI Healthcare programme team. \nThis competition round will focus on Reducing Pressure on Urgent and Emergency Care\, selected in partnership with the Academic Heath Science Networks across England. \nSplit into three categories\, these competition themes focus on potential areas where technology solutions can play a role and where we complement other funding initiatives that have an impact on this area\, such as DALLAS and the recent SBRI Healthcare calls in areas such as falls and incontinence in the frail elderly. \nIn consultation with clinicians\, paramedics\, GPs and operations managers working in emergency admissions\, we have identified three challenge themes (“categories”) where there is the potential for innovative solutions to reduce pressures on emergency services. \n\nThe first challenge resides in primary care support and aims to reduce the number of people attending A&E in the first place.\nThe second challenge looks to manage the distribution of cases arriving at A&E at any one time and so manage the flow of patients into the department.\nThe third challenge looks at improving the access to the clinical decision maker and if appropriate the flow through A&E and onto the wards or for discharge. Although this challenge doesn’t reduce the flow itself\, it does give a measure of the resources that are required\, and therefore can be planned for.\n\nWhilst some projects in these category areas are already underway\, there is a sense that more needs to be done and integration with other systems is key. We expect applicants to learn from these projects and to address the gaps and shortfalls in their proposals. \nFor further information on the competition\, please click here to view the briefing document \nAttend this seminar to gain an understanding of: \n\nThe clinical challenges in each of the competition themes\nThe key requirements of each call\nHow SBRI Healthcare  works\, the application process and important deadlines\n\nThis event is free to attend but pre-registration is essential. Click here to register. \nFor further information please contact Claire Laing – 01275 370 798
