Medical Innovation Conference
The Medical Innovation Conference will take place at DMS Whittington on 12-13 Oct 22, with the theme ‘Delivering in Partnership’. The conference provides a unique opportunity for the military medical community to learn about research being undertaken within the DMS, actively engage with cutting-edge innovation led by jHubMed, and discover the role taken by DMS at the heart of international and industrial partnerships. The conference is open to all DMS military regular and reserve personnel and civilian colleagues. The event will include key contributions from Defence Professors and Defence Consultant Advisers speaking about advances and innovation projects in their speciality areas.
The Special Interest Group third event…
The RiHN members discussed the particular challenges and opportunities that RDM offers, particularly point of care manufacturing. Having previously identified the four major technology themes that offer the best benefit to healthcare, we now turn our attention to how manufacturing at the point of care redefines the business case and the operational requirements to do so. We intend to support the talks with insight from member polls, our steering board, major stakeholders and champions for RDM. Being able to meet in-person allows us to showcase facilities in the UK of partner organisations such as CPI, home of the national biologics manufacturing centre and the RNA centre of excellence.

RiHN Technology workshop in partnership with The West of England Academic Health Science Network
RiHN is spearheading the development of a regional hub to support and advance commercialisation of RDM healthcare innovative technologies, which we aim to establish through partnership working and community resourcing.
This cross-sector event focused on:
- End user insight in healthcare innovation: Meeting the needs of patients and practitioners.
- Capability building: Building a network of shared facilities and expertise to advance the commercialisation of emerging healthcare innovations.
- Partnership working: Concept development for a regional hub (in the South-West) for novel healthcare technologies and manufacturing that support the delivery of healthcare close to the point of need.
- An emerging RDM healthcare technology – the HEALS device for chronic and complex wound dressings from Corryn Biotechnology.
- How we could develop partnerships to facilitate co-development opportunities between clinical practice and innovation.
- These discussions will underpin the business case for a regional hub for advancing RDM healthcare technologies, shaping and informing future research programmes and investment in this sector.
