SUMMARY:VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: Is your Business Case NHS Ready?
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin the second of our two-part CPD accredited virtual workshops\, Is your Business Case NHS Ready?\, delivered by the East Midlands Academic Health Science Network (EMAHSN). \nThe challenge as innovators and companies selling to the NHS is often that when you have a product that improves patient outcomes and saves cost you still cannot get it adopted by the NHS. This is frequently because there isn’t a fully developed business case. \nPART 1 is a pre-recorded 40 minute webinar that you can watch at a time convenient to you. \nThe pre-recorded webinar will cover: \n– What a business case is\, what is its purpose and why is it so important? \n– Who reviews the business case and how are they evaluated? \n– How to construct a good business case \n—————— \nPART 2 is a live 1-hour Q&A session on Wednesday 17th February. \nIn order to gain access to this live session\, delegates are required to watch the pre-recorded webinar prior to attending.  \nThe Q&A session will be held with a panel of experts from the EMAHSN and delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the team. \n \nUpon registration you will be sent a link to the pre-recorded webinar by a member of the Medilink Midlands events team.  Joining details for the live Q&A session will be distributed separately once the webinar has been viewed.  \nSPEAKER PROFILES: \nLive Q&A Session Chair: Mike Watson\, Digital Lead\, East Midlands Academic Health Science Network\n\nMike is responsible for taking forward our approach to supporting change through digital innovations working with a wide range of partners from across the East Midlands to take forward the most promising digital innovations and ways of working.

During her PhD she developed and patented an essential oil based antimicrobial vapour\, whilst her postdoctoral work included the assessment of natural antimicrobials efficacy against post-harvest pathogens.\nHer research interests include the use of natural products as antimicrobials in particular to combat hospital acquired infections and biofilms.  Her other area of research includes the assessment of healthcare laundry as a potential route of cross contamination in the clinical arena. \n\nEric Fewster\, Water & Environmental Manager\, BushProof\nEric Fewster has 24 years of hands-on operational experience as a water supply and sanitation specialist in the design\, implementation and evaluation of water & sanitation projects in both emergencies and development situations\, with the ability to understand the local context and constraints inherent in low-income countries.

Around the time lockdown began in the spring 2020\, when cases in care homes was increasingly evident from other countries like Spain and Belgium\, he decided to help produce some pragmatic guidance for care homes on preventing and controlling infection of SARS-CoV-2 in the care home context. Since it first went online in mid-April\, it has since informed the advice given by the British Geriatric Society and Care Quality Commission\, and it has been continually updated and expanded\, using the experience of a wide range of co-contributors with different experiences. \n\nShrien Dewani\, Director\, Evolve Care Group\nInitially qualifying as a Chartered Accountant\, Shrien quickly fell in love with Health and Social Care back in 2004.

At the start of the pandemic Eve’s COVID 19 manual was used by a number of Care Homes in England and Wales to assist in the creation of protective strategies. This work has been used to contribute to Bushproof and British Geriatrics Society and to consult with Public Health Wales on their Care Homes risk matrix. \n\nJackie Hook\, Head Chemist\, JLA Ltd\nJackie is a Charted Chemist\, Member of the Healthcare Infection Society (HIS) and Infection Prevention Society (IPS).
