Could a radical rethink of logistics be the answer?
P4H England 2024 is the country’s premier NHS procurement event, and it takes place at the NEC Birmingham on September 18th. The event is a chance for those in procurement roles within the NHS to meet with their colleagues and share best practice on what’s working in other parts of the country. The conference also provides direct contact with suppliers and facilitates conversations about other initiatives which could be applied to the NHS supply chain.
“We’ve been in discussions with several NHS Trusts, specifically about how they could possibly re-imagine their local supply chain and inventory control to align better with their operational needs. This conference will enable us to have access to a wider group of procurement specialists. So we can explore how our ideas to optimise the localised delivery of consumables at a ward level can help Trusts stay focused on patient care.”
