Back in 2013 the McKinsey Global Institute published a report entitled Disruptive technologies: Advances that will transform life, business, and the global economy. The report identified 12 technologies that could drive truly massive economic transformations and disruptions in the coming years. The report also looks at exactly how these technologies could change our world, as well as their benefits and challenges, and offers guidelines to help leaders from businesses and other institutions respond. The Report estimated that, together, applications of the 12 technologies discussed in the report could have a potential economic impact between $14 trillion and $33 trillion a year in 2025.
The potential benefits of the technologies discussed in the report are tremendous—but so are the challenges of preparing for their impact. If business and government leaders wait until these technologies are exerting their full influence on the economy, it will be too late to capture the benefits or react to the consequences.
Disruptive Technologies examined the current challenges and opportunities brought by such innovation whilst providing delegates the opportunity to test technologies via live demonstrations.

The NHS Sustainability Campaign has been advocating the mandatory implementation of Sustainable Development Management Plans for the past year.
SDMPs, as they are often referred to, are not currently a mandatory requirement for any NHS Trust. They are part of the NHS Contract, but not reported on or considered when measuring performance.
This is leading to carbon measures been ignored by over 30% of the NHS Trusts in England, thats around 80 Trusts! This is staggering and also demonstrative of the lack of leadership needed to drive sustainability.
As part of our campaign to support Trusts with SDMP's we hosted a webinar, CPD accredited, on December 6th. The webinar explored how to create an SDMP, what is needed at implementation, how to get top-level engagement and much more!

Across the UK we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Key 'smart' sectors utilised by such Cities include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. Against the current background of economic, social, security and technological changes caused by the globalization and the integration process, cities in the UK face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously.
A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses. With this vision in mind, the European Union is investing in ICT research and innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable in view of Europe's 20-20-20 targets.
The smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities, and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings.
And it also encompasses a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer and secure public spaces.
Smart Cities UK 2017 Conference, Expo and Awards lead the way on addressing the best practice examples on smart transformation from across Cities within the United Kingdom whilst disseminating guidance and information transformation within waste, energy, transport, security and other key smart sectors.

Fighting the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance webinar4 All of Us
Lord Jim O’Neill, the UK Commercial Secretary to the Treasury and Chair of the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance, recently released a report laying out recommendations to fight the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Overuse of antibiotics, especially of broad spectrum antibiotics rather than targeted narrow spectrum therapies, has led to an increase in drug-resistant bacterial infections. This emerging health issue is poised to have devastating global consequences, making it impossible to treat previously curable diseases. AMR already contributes to 700,000 deaths a year, and the report warns that it could cause 10 million deaths a year and $100 trillion in lost global productivity by 2050 if nothing is done to stop its spread.
In recent years, advances in diagnostic technology have made rapid point-of-care testing possible for many diseases – enabling providers to immediately prescribe the most appropriate therapy during the course of a patient’s visit.
This webinar will focused on the importance of understanding the need for diagnostics, what is being done in development and the solutions that are available now.
Welcome to the Sustainable Health Scotland Conference 2016. Sustainable Health Scotland 2016 addressed the role of sustainable development within Scotland’s health services focusing on the shift to a preventative system.

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

staff can focus on patient care
• Training records maintained to ensure traceability
of learner outcomes
171. LIVERPOOL WOMEN’S HOSPITAL - THE
CHALLENGE
Liverpool Women’s Hospital is a specialist NHS Trusts in the UK that is dedicated
to the healthcare of women, babies and their families.
Over 8,000 babies delivered and
10,000 gynaecological procedures
untaken each year, as well
multiple genetics departments to
maintain.
Vital that the trusts waste
disposal methods are as safe and
sustainable as possible.
172. THE CHALLENGE
DISPOSABLE ‘BURN’ BINS ISSUES
Safe?
The single-use system was not the safest option for sharps disposal.
• Small size
• Absence of protective features (permanent locks, pre-assembly)
Efficiency
The time taken to construct some of these containers impinged on carers’ time.
Plastic Disposal
Single-use containers saw the disposal of 6.5 tonnes of polypropylene plastic
per year
- Not in line with the 2008 climate change act
- Costly
173. THE CHALLENGE
REDUCE CLINICAL WASTE & CO2
Promoting Sustainability
One of Liverpool Women’s biggest environmental objectives
was to reduce their clinical waste and, consequently, their
carbon emissions.
Compliance
• Independent audit had highlighted instances of non-compliance with waste
guidelines
• Trust were concerned that they were incinerating significantly more waste than
necessary
• Wanted to ensure they were fully compliant on all fronts
• Trust’s environmental manager was under growing pressure to introduce an
offensive waste stream.
175. WHAT IS THE SHARPSMART SYSTEM?
A Reusable Engineered Safety Device designed for point-of-care disposal of sharps,
pharmaceuticals and recyclable devices.
Reusable sharps containment system &
accessories designed for traceable safe point-
of-care disposal.
Bespoke blended learning programmes built on
‘5 Moments’ Concept including hard copy ‘touch
point’ training tools and e-learning modules.
Auditsmart Perpetual Audit system designed
for continual optimisation and compliance
177. WHAT IS THE BAG TO BED SYSTEM?
A total waste optimisation solution including an array of bespoke blended-learning tools and accesories ensure
that optimised segregation, safety and compliance can be achieved routinely without compromising correct
segregation techniques.
Flexible accessories designed to ensure safe,
compliant point-of-care segregation/disposal
Bespoke blended learning programmes built on
‘5 Moments’ Concept including hard copy ‘touch
point’ training tools and e-learning modules.
The system reduces the possible risk of
infection by the removal of the infectious
waste bins from patient areas.
178. PROCESS
• Met with key stakeholders across the hospital (including infection control, Nursing Managers and Health &
Safety) in order to trial then implement the Sharpsmart and Clinismart across the hospital.
• Department surveys to assess individual areas requirement in terms of accessories and stock.
• Education requirements – including bLearning learning
• Wellness calls, additional training & ward walks – helped ensure the Trust
were fully optimising the system.
• Monthly audits – measured how well the system was being used;
(correct segregation, labelling and optimisation of container space)
• Communication with the hospital’s facilities companies and portering teams
to ensure a smooth process.
179. THE RESULTS – SHARPSMART
Forecast:
Sharpsmart will not have to manufacture any additional containers for the hospital to use for the next 10 years,
leading to an estimated 560 tonne reduction in CO2 emissions from the trust & 65 tonnes of plastic being
removed from the incineration stream.
In 19 months since the Sharpsmart installation:
• Sharps Management Savings of 10%
• 10 tonnes of polypropylene plastic saved from being incinerated
• CO2 emissions reduced by approximately 56 tonnes
• Safer working environment for staff
• 6,000 fewer containers are handled by both clinical and portering staff each year.
• Reduced waste volumes and educational opportunities for all staff.
180. THE RESULTS - CLINISMART BAG-TO-BEDSIDE
All cost and time-related savings from introducing these systems have been diverted to the maintenance and
improvement of frontline services, including waste, portering and domestic services.
In 6 months since the Clinismart Bag to Bedside system installation:
• Minimised the presence of waste containers in bay areas
• 40% of waste diverted from clinical to offensive and infectious streams
• Cost savings of 45%
• Touch-point education available for all staff involved in the production
& movement for healthcare waste
• Its value as an educational tool has helped the Trust stay compliant with CQC guidelines and 2012
Controlled Waste Regulations.
181. PROJECT FEEDBACK
Regarding the success of the project, John Foley, Environment Manager at the
Trust, commented;
“By providing a significant reduction in carbon emissions and clinical waste volumes, the
introduction of the Sharpsmart and Clinismart systems to the Trust has greatly assisted
with our efforts to become more sustainable in line with the Climate Change Act.
Results were noticed almost immediately by both staff and patients, which has greatly
enhanced the Trust and its prestigious reputation as a safe and environmentally-conscious
healthcare provider. The ability to audit and see what is inside a container is a real eye-
opener and extremely useful in educating staff.”

214. Staff Travel Surveys
• Staff travel surveys undertaken annually since 2013 to look at
staff travel habits to/from work:
o More staff cycling and walking and taking the bus
o Reduction in rail use
o Not many formal car sharers (that we know of)
• ‘What would encourage cycling and walking to work?’
o The 2016 survey responses showed that across City and
Sandwell the most popular answers were (respectively):
1. Safer cycle routes/footpaths
2. Safer walking routes/footpaths
3. Shower/changing facilities at work
