Innova Care Concepts claims that against a backdrop where – according to NICE data, an estimated 300,000 patients in England develop a healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) annually – its new automated Bed Washing System will ‘completely change how beds are cleaned in hospitals nationwide’.

The air we breathe at home, at school, at work and especially in care-critical environments such as hospitals is responsible for the spread of microorganisms and as such, a common vector for the transmission of harmful pathogens that pose a risk of causing infection and illness.

This year, we are excited to be hosting two conferences, the EBME conference, and the Operating Theatre conference.

The world’s first Scalp Cooling Summit will unite global oncology and research thought leaders to discuss current practice and how to advance the future of scalp cooling and side effect management in cancer care.

Nowadays, increasing demands for technological innovation and precision have given rise to interoperability in operating rooms. However, communication limitations between surgeons and surgical team members, especially during surgery, can in some instances hinder operating room performance.

A pioneering digital platform, which uses cutting-edge AI technology to analyse patients’ experience of care, could help healthcare organisations identify where and how to improve the patient experience, which remains a key aim for the NHS.
