Great opportunities

At the MedTech Expo in Dublin yesterday, BGMA Sustainability Lead Michael Clarke discussed opportunities for sustainability in the generic pharmaceutical sector and the challenges we face in making it a reality. In case you missed it, here's a quick snapshot how the industry could become more sustainable, in a way that still puts patient safety first. To make this greater #sustainability a reality, there is need for debate about who will fund the investment required. #Generics, with efficient, low-cost supply chains, are not able to fully fund this themselves - are health systems prepared to pay higher prices to accelerate new tech and processes?

📈🇮🇪 Why Irish Medical and Pharmaceutical Companies Must Embrace the Five Principles of Lean 🇮🇪📈 Ireland stands out in the manufacture of medical devices, equipment, and medicines. Many Irish companies are pioneers, co-creating models of Operational Excellence through the Irish Medtech Association and achieving Shingo prizes. The Shingo model is a powerful tool for establishing operational excellence, and at LBS Partners, we fully support this approach. However, achieving true Operational Excellence goes beyond training—it requires practice. To excel, organisations must embody the five dimensions of excellence daily: 🌟 Purpose: Leaders must ensure that every member of the organisation feels connected to the company’s purpose. 📊 Engagement: Foster an environment where employees can develop in all aspects of their work, making processes and performance easy to understand. 🤝 Transparency: Cultivate an atmosphere that promotes teamwork, collaboration, and performance, which requires courage and humility. 🏆Recognition: Focus on recognising efforts and commitment, acknowledging that high-quality efforts lead to successful outcomes. 👏Leadership by Example: Exemplify the right behaviours consistently, demonstrating courage and humility in all actions. These principles are crucial for creating an organisation that excels in serving its customers, now and in the future. By embracing these dimensions, companies can ensure long-term success and operational excellence. Let's strive for excellence together. 🚀 #LeanPrinciples #OperationalExcellence #MedTech #Pharmaceuticals #Leadership #ContinuousImprovement #IrishInnovation

As we hit the #RoadToEurope we’re showcasing the innovators from around the globe who are selected to present at #LSIEurope24. Today we’re showcasing 3 innovators in Ireland selected to present at LSI Europe ‘24 in Portugal: 1. Declan Soden — Mirai Medical → Its ePORE therapy is a unique precision therapy platform that targets and destroy tumor tissue without harming surrounding healthy tissue. The minimally invasive technology delivers pulsed electrical fields that create pores in the cell membrane of tumor cells, catalyzing cellular death. Mirai's technology has been developed for external (skin) and internal (endoscopic) tumor treatment. 2. Finbar (Barry) Dolan — VERSONO MEDICAL LTD → Developing an intravascular ultrasonic platform to improve the crossing of severe occlusions in the peripheral vasculature. The device will prepare a working lumen to support endovascular therapy in patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs) and critical limb ischemia (CLI). 3. Stephen Cox — InVera Medical → Developing a catheter-based therapy for chronic venous disease. The device uses non-thermal energy to disrupts the inner vessel lining, resulting in natural scarring and vessel closure that diverts blood flow away from diseased vessels. We look forward to seeing these innovators take the stage this September 16th - 20th in Portugal. Want to see what other innovators are presenting at LSI Europe ‘24? Head over to our website to see the first 100+ innovators selected to present.

As Bowel Cancer awareness month draws to a close, it seems like a good opportunity to educate my network on what is now the 4th most common type of cancer in Ireland. Bowel cancer is considered an old person's cancer with screening available from the age of 59 but unfortunately it is affecting more and more younger people (including myself unfortunately). Symptoms include - - changes in bowel habits such as diarrhoea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool - blood in the stool (rectal bleeding), either bright red or dark and tar-like - abdominal cramps, pain or bloating that won’t go away - unexplained weight loss that is sudden and losing weight without trying - feeling constantly tired and lacking energy, even with enough rest - finding a lump in your tummy area or rectum - iron deficiency anaemia due to chronic bleeding, causing fatigue, weakness and paleness If you notice any of these symptoms, #trustyourgut and talk to your GP because early diagnosis is so important     🔗 *For More Information*: Visit https://lnkd.in/eFHe34GU #BowelCancerAwareness #EarlyDetectionMatters #HealthIsWealth

Now presenting at #InnovationDublin24 is Adtec Healthcare Limited with CEO Mary McGovern. Presenting company Adtec’s cold plasma technology attacks a silent pandemic: the problem of chronic wound infections and biofilms that are hard to treat on drivelines, catheters and stomas. Early clinical trials show a 47% or greater bacterial load reduction.     The SteriPlas Cold Plasma medical device by Adtec Healthcare Ltd (Twickenham, London UK) is a strong antibacterial with proven clinical efficacy for the management of chronic wounds, LVAD driveline infections, diabetic foot ulcers and deep sternal wound infections typically complicated with biofilm. Where conventional therapies, such as antibiotics, fail to destroy bacteria protected within biofilm leading to a worsening infection, the SteriPlas delivers a quick, painless and fast-acting solution to physically destroy all forms of bacteria regardless of their resistance profile.   Remain informed on new articles, conference updates and more with our helpful medtech community newsletter.
