EBME Expo preview
Spotlight on medical equipment management
The EBME Expo medical equipment exhibition and conference will take place at The Coventry Building Society Arena, 28–29 June 2023. CSJ provides an insight into the hot topics to be discussed at the event and the innovations on show.
The EBME Expo medical equipment exhibition and conferences are committed to advancing medical equipment knowledge and management to deliver sustainable improvements for healthcare providers. The event showcases the latest innovations in medical technology, and imparts best practice with regard to management, acquisition, use, and maintenance. It is important to raise 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 EBME Expo team has been working
hard with exhibitors, speakers, and the venue to ensure an excellent programme focused on innovations and advances in healthcare technology. This year, the event will be hosting three conference areas: 1. EBME presentations – 2 days 2. Operating Theatres presentations – 2 days 3. Training presentations on day 1; Procurement presentations on Day 2.
EBME (clinical engineering) staff work very closely with operating theatre staff ensuring medical equipment is available for users in hospitals. Both are responsible for understanding the complexity of the technology used and assisting users with any problems they may encounter. When medical equipment management is being performed to the highest standards, it also includes buying and training, which is why the organisers have now included a dedicated procurement and training conference area. The event will welcome staff such as engineers, nurses, doctors, buyers, trainers, operating theatre staff, and other healthcare professionals. The conference programmes will feature twenty presentations each day, concentrating on understanding how we buy, use, maintain and manage healthcare technology.
EBME conference programme Hot topics being discussed by speakers during the EBME conference programme, will include: innovations in medical equipment technology; the benefits of implementing an RFID system; how patient monitoring is transforming care; AI in diagnostics in healthcare; cybersecurity; management strategies for technology; how HealthTech can help us reach net zero; and much more…
Operating theatre conference During the operating theatre conference, speakers will discuss: simulation in healthcare education, cell salvage and its role in sarcoma surgery, mechanical and physiological consequences of tissue compression by a tourniquet, ballistic trauma, conversations at end of life, a six-month experience of Zambian anaesthesia; and much more…
The training programme Topics will include: an essential patient monitoring course for biomedical engineers; ECG monitoring; impedance respiration; non- invasive blood pressure measurement (NIBP); invasive blood measurement; temperature monitoring; saturated pulse oximetry (SpO2 carbon dioxide monitoring (CO2
).
Procurement programme This will cover: procurement – being strategic with healthcare technology; DHSC/NHS medical technology strategy; procuring medical technology; capital procurement through NHS Supply Chain; managed equipment service procurement; and a procurement case study (Masimo at Cambridge University Hospitals).
