2011 Exhibitors

Only the Best Can Exhibit!

Healthcare Innovation EXPO is a unique event for all participants. The main objective of the EXPO is to encourage the spread of innovations that have a significant impact in improving the quality of patient care and productivity in the UK. 

To exhibit at the EXPO, you must stand out from your competitors by offering true innovation to the health sector. This is why to qualify to showcase at the Healthcare Innovation EXPO, all exhibitors must be able to demonstrate innovation ready for adoption, a positive impact on patient outcomes and costs savings backed by evidence.

Participating in the EXPO will provide unrivalled opportunities for exhibitors, to interact directly with key buyers and decision makers in the NHS. Last year businesses secured tens of millions of pounds of orders. This year will provide even greater opportunities as the show is expected to attract twice as many delegates. 

The show floor is now full, if you would like us to bear you in mind for next year please contact Karen at karen@giraffe-ideaworks.co.uk

Independent estimates indicate that if this system was adopted for all moderate and major surgery, the NHS could save up to £500 million per annum.

NHS National End of Life Care Programme

This programme will showcase a range of best practice guides and initiatives in end of life care including:

• Care Planning
• Commissioning end of life care
• Examples of condition specific guidance e.g. Advanced Kidney Diseases
• Examples of setting specific guidance e.g. for care homes.
• End of Life care intelligence network
• End of life care user network.

VitalPAC: The Learning Clinic

VitalPAC is a real-time, mobile information system that monitors patient condition and quickly identifies high risk and deteriorating patients.  It utilises PDAs, mobiles, tablets and PC’s to ensure that Nurses can record observations accurately and regularly. It combines vital signs checks with pathology lab results and analyses them and when required escalates care to more senior clinicians. VitalPAC provides significant productivity gains enabling information to be documented 40% quicker. In a typical hospital of about 1000 beds with an average 3,500 observations recorded daily, around 20,000 hours of frontline staff time will be saved per year.

Cortoss bone augmentation Material:  Orthovita UK Ltd

Orthovita will be demonstrating their revolutionary bone cement: Cortoss. Large scale trials indicate that use of Cortoss will reduce the occurrence of subsequent fractures in patients treated by over 43% versus PMMA ( conventional bone cement) following Vertebroplasty. Improved function and pain relief is also proven leading to improved quality of life and reduction of analgaesic use.
