The Medical Research Council, Greener NHS at NHS England and National Institute for Health and Care Research, have joined together to showcase a number of research projects that seek to find solutions for a more sustainable health research and healthcare sector.
BAPO has now formally responded to the consultation on the proposal of a separate pay scale for nurses. The response from BAPO members was clear, they felt that the proposal to move to profession specific pay arrangements for the nursing profession would create divisions and create a sense of other professions feeling under-valued. Thank you to all the members who provided feedback on this issue. We will monitor the situation closely and report back on the outcomes of the consultation.
Global Disability Innovation Hub would like to invite you to two day-long workshops on the repair of Assistive Technologies. Stakeholders from other academic and clinical disciplines related to, working on, or interested in repairs, waste minimisation, and product lifecycle (including but not limited to design, medical devices, regulatory aspects, sustainability, manufacturing, value-based healthcare, health economics, health policy, and health systems) are also welcome.
This event is free to attend and is in-person; however, overseas speakers can present remotely via Zoom.
Two in-person symposium/consensus workshops (on 16 May 2024 in Salford and 21 June 2024 in London) are organised to explore the complexity of repair and maintenance of Assistive Products and how it relates to the rest of the value chain (from the industry, commissioners, and users under-represented by current repair strategies – to the barriers to optimising Assistive Products provision).
Registration link (to attend either or both workshops) is provided here with further details: https://www.disabilityinnovation.com/events/ap-workshop. The workshop could cover travel expenses, if required. People are more than welcome to attend without submitting anything.
Call for short presentations:
Would you like to speak at the event? We would like to hear from people interested in presenting a short talk at either of these events. Please email a short proposal (~150 words) outlining your topic to b.oldfrey@ucl.ac.uk no later than 30 April.
