awareness of how improved management of healthcare technology, and connectivity, can lead to better NHS productivity and lower healthcare costs. Ultimately, sharing knowledge leads to improvements in best practice, enhancing patient safety, and helping hospitals to deliver sustainable budgets.
The conference programme: Day 1: There will be a technology focus in the EBME Conference area, which will include discussion of ‘innovations in clinical technology data management”. This will include a focus on the importance of effective data management in today’s ‘connected’ environments. Imaging also plays an important part in diagnosis and
the session will include discussion of ‘technological innovations in diagnostic ultrasound and dedicated MRI, and their impact on clinical care and service improvement’.
Other topics include:
l A governance assurance toolkit l A collaborative approach in working towards a net zero NHS
l Patient monitoring: early warning scoring system (MEWS and NEWS2 systems)
l The role of medical technology in homecare
Day 2: There will be a management focus in the EBME Conference area. Many NHS Trusts are already committing to using
Operating Theatre conference
Rob Brothwood, senior operating department practitioner at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital, will be the chairman for the additional operating theatre conference area. He provides an insight into the event highlights.
In the ever-changing landscape of operating theatres, one element never changes, and that’s the demand for improved, faster more accurate, safer technologies with which to treat our patients. For the first time ever, the EBME Expo will be incorporating a dedicated operating theatre conference hall, which will run alongside the EBME conference hall to offer an exciting and perfect partner for many on the trade show floor. I am delighted and honoured to be
asked to become the first chair of the operating theatre conference. I am very optimistic that the EBME Operating Theatre conference will be one of the most inclusive conferences of its type. This will be showcased by the speakers who will be presenting – we have surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, ODPs, NHS England, the Royal Navy plus many more. All members of the operating theatre family will be welcomed to the conference – including operating department practitioners (ODPs), theatre and recovery nurses, anaesthetists, surgeons, plus others. The conference will also welcome specialist EBME technicians.
It is vital that we all acknowledge the skills and responsibilities each individual group brings to the service we provide. Operating theatres simply couldn’t function without the co-operation and understanding of the separate individuals and groups who work together as the ultimate multi-disciplinary team.
Technology simply never stands still; there is always a new piece of equipment, software or new technique being developed – for example there has been a welcome and noticeable shift over the previous years for a ‘greener operating theatre’. The EBME Expo is uniquely placed to showcase the journey from manufacturing all the way through to the end user.
Day one will have some interesting talks covering surgery, technology, anaesthesia and much more. I am also delighted to welcome internationally renowned Prof. Tony Young OBE, who will be discussing all things innovation – including the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur programme, which is the biggest entrepreneurial workforce development programme of its kind. The programme aims to provide the commercial skills, knowledge and experience needed to successfully develop and spread innovative solutions to the challenges facing the NHS – for the benefit of patients, staff and the wider NHS. Day two promises to be filled with equally interesting and talented speakers, including education, and the future planning for the operating theatre environment. A special note must be reserved for Dr. Kate Prior, who is not only a consultant in anaesthetics and major trauma, but is also a surgeon captain in the Royal Navy and military clinical director, Joint Hospital Group (southeast). I’m sure Dr. Prior will deliver a presentation not to be missed.

modern technology to redesign services and create a modern NHS, where outpatient visits are reduced by a third. Part of this redesign includes ‘Digital technologies and interoperability: enabling the future of Integrated Care Systems (ICS)’. Roy Smith and David Attwell will provide an interesting perspective on ‘clinical engineering in an ICS, including the pros and cons’. Integrated care systems offer the
opportunity to integrate health and care services across multiple settings including general practice, mental health and improving access to psychological therapies (IAPT) services, primary care, secondary care, community care and social care. Integrated care benefits both patients and staff. Using digital systems that enable patient information to be shared and accessed seamlessly across the health and care system will be essential to enable successful integration.
Other speaker topics being discussed on day 2 include: l The role of the CE in the standardisation and adoption of image management solutions for non-native DICOM image sources.
l Quality management systems for clinical engineering.
l Fostering a just, honest, open and learning culture.
l Delivering sustainable efficiencies in healthcare.
