firms each pitched for 5 minutes on the characteristics of their products or technologies with an audience live-vote held after each presentation on their perception of a range of qualities such as whether the product would make realisable savings; be affordable by the NHS; enhance efforts to improve patient safety; provide noticeable benefits to the practice of infection prevention. Any commercial organisation with a product or technology in the HCAI space was eligible to apply for inclusion and consideration. Applications were reviewed and chosen by a panel of senior IPS members against criteria including: does the product/technology contribute to improved productivity at the NHS front-line?; is it safe to use?; has it been shown to be efficacious?; does it help to improve patient satisfaction?

is an alternative to incontinence pads and indwelling
