The Institute of Pharmaceutical Innovation

Wednesday 13th August, 2008 Professor Clive Beggs to Present Keynote at Smart Solutions HCAI Roadshow

4th September, Brooklands Hotel, Barnsley

Does your company have a product or technology that could help prevent the spread of MRSA or similar infections?

Smart Solutions is an NHS programme that aims to find the best products and technologies from across all industry sectors that could be used to fight healthcare associated infections (HCAIs).

The Smart Solutions programme aims to bring forward new technologies generated by businesses in healthcare or other commercial sectors that are not currently in use, or have not been widely adopted, within the NHS. These may include new types of medical equipment, but could equally be technologies currently used in non-healthcare applications, which have the potential to be transferred into the NHS to fight infection, such as new types of packaging, coatings or textiles to name but a few.

Medilink are hosting an event on 4th September on behalf of the Smart Solutions HCAI team at the Brooklands Hotel, Barnsley. This event will give you the chance to learn more about the Smart Solutions programme, meet with its facilitators and network with others who are working on HCAI projects.

The event will include presentations from, Dick Clark, Managing Director at Medipex on the support offered to companies and how to enter the clinical base, Professor Clive Beggs, Leader of the Bradford Infection Group at the University of Bradford on developing an evidence base to market your products, and two case studies from companies who have successfully developed and supplied infection control products.
