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

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.

Only the best and most promising solutions from this event will be invited and supported to apply for funding.  We are well placed to support you and will be looking for solutions. \nIn practice\, the Covid Hack Panel will select winners on the day. \nWinners may be contacted later and invited to apply for support and/or funding. \n  \nPanel Judging guidance \nChris Martin will chair the panel. \nParticipants have been told\, if you want to impress the judges: \n\nClear connection to Covid effort\, & “You snooze\, you lose”!\nAll in it together\nHow well is the patient’s perspective understood\nPotential for large scale impact\, Integrated care\, services in the community\, financial savings\, backlog tsunami\nAwyr Las funding is only available in BCUHB\n\n  \nIn Advance \nPrepare your Pitch \nYOU MAY NOT USE POWERPOINT. \nYOU WILL HAVE 2 MINUTES TO PITCH. \nWE WILL CUT YOU OFF AT TWO MINUTES (HARSH BUT TRUE) \nGET PATIENTS TO JOIN YOUR TEAM (if you can) \nPrepare your pitch… You should seek to endear yourself to the audience by clearly articulating your challenge\, making your pitch sharp\, crisp\, and entertaining.   I suggest: \n\nStart with your Name and who you are\nWhat is your challenge\nWhy your challenge is important\nWhy come to work with me\nWhat I need from other people…e.g. skills\, enthusiasm\, knowledge\n\nA very long time ago\, an old Greek bloke said the key to human influence\, or engaging an audience\, is found in the three modes of persuasion: \nEthos     – demonstrating trustworthiness through action \nPathos   – understanding the humanity of the situation \nLogos     – being able to articulate meaning to engage others \n  \nDay 1 – 14 May \nPitches will start at about 19:10 \nYou have TWO minutes to pitch – I will hold you to two minutes \nYour objective is to get the audience (Industry/ University/ Developer/ Data Analyst/ Designer/ Informatics people) to want to work with you \nYou cannot use Powerpoint \nAfter the pitches\, the organisers will move you to a breakout room.  We will give your breakout room a number on the day based on the order in which you pitch. \nThe audience (Industry/ University/ Developer/ Data Analyst/ Designer/ Informatics people) will be invited to join you. \nTo help chivvy things along all participants should update their name on Zoom to show: \n–       Name \n–       Organisation \n–       Skills / knowledge / super power \nYou can do this by right clicking on your video and selecting ‘rename’. \nThe audience will join and leave your room throughout the rest of the event. \nYou will have a facilitator in your room.  They will be the one wearing a hat! \nThe facilitator’s role is to answer questions and help where they can. \nThe organisers will try to encourage people to come to your room – but we can’t force them! \nYour role is to form a team of collaborators.  Your team will work with you to prepare a solution/proposal by Day 2 on 20 May. \nIn addition to the pitch specific breakout rooms there will be an audience/collaborator breakout room.  You may navigate to this other room I you wish. \nIf you have colleagues taking part it may be worth splitting up to see what else is going on. \nThe organisers (that’s me and the hat wearing facilitators) will help you find the people you need. \nRemember that you have until the presentations on 20 May to form a team. \n  \nQuestion and Answer Sessions \nZoom Links for the Q&A Sessions are on: \n15 May            15:00 – 16:00              https://swanseauniversity.zoom.us/j/98294268036                                                             Meeting ID: 982 9426 8036 \n18 May            15:00 – 16:00 \n19 May            15:00 – 16:00 \n20 May            15:00 – 16:00 \nThese unimaginatively named sessions are to do exactly what it says on the tin!
