Infection prevention
The NHS is looking to engineering businesses that have MRSA-beating products and technologies to take part in a new NHS programme.
Engineering businesses that have new products or technologies that could help prevent the spread of MRSA or similar infections are being asked to come forward to take part in a new NHS programme.
The NHS is seeking new solutions from across all industry sectors to help in the fight against healthcare associated infections (HCAIs). The Smart Solutions for HCAI programme offers businesses the chance to have their technology assessed by a team of independent experts, with a view to evaluating it in a hospital setting and potentially supplying it across the NHS.
Reducing HCAIs is said to be one of the top priorities for the NHS in the coming years. It is investing significant sums in improving infection prevention and control, and has set itself some challenging targets. While the basic ways of reducing HCAIs are largely unchanged, new technologies and equipment could help to meet these goals more quickly.
The Smart Solutions programme - http://www.smartsolutionsforhcai.co.uk - aims to identify new technologies that are not currently in use, or have not been widely adopted, within the NHS.
