CHESHIRE businesses which have 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 the most effective new solutions from across all industry sectors to help in the fight against healthcare associated infections. The Smart Solutions for HCAI programme offers businesses the chance to have their product assessed by a team of independent experts, with a view to evaluating it in a hospital setting and potentially supplying it across the NHS.
The Smart Solutions programme - http://www.smartsolutionsforhcai.co.uk - aims to identify 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, such as new types of packaging, coatings or textiles to name but a few. The programme is open to businesses or other non-NHS organisations of any size, from any sector.
Applications can be submitted online via http://www.smartsolutionsforhcai.co.uk on or before September 26.
