ANGLOPLAS®: Technology in plastic

Angloplas is a UK manufacturer which specialises in producing dispensers for the health and hygiene industry. Although these are designed to keep the workplace tidy and uncluttered they are, more importantly, built knowing the control of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) are a priority for healthcare providers, and who are employing a combination of infection prevention and control strategies, including hand hygiene, cleaning, training and the adoption of new technologies, to tackle the problem.

As a result, a wide range of infection control products and technologies is emerging on the market, including antimicrobial technology. Angloplas’ range of dispensers is produced in the world’s first proven Antimicrobial PVC with silver ion technology and which is exclusive to Angloplas. This helps reduce the risk of cross infection by stopping the growth of bacteria and mould and works continuously for the lifetime of the product, reducing levels of bacteria such as MRSA, E Coli, Legionella, Salmonella and mould by up to 99.99%.

You can order Angloplas products directly from its website by going to www.angloplas.co.uk and clicking Hospital, Health and Hygiene or view and/or download the latest catalogue and price list by using the Quick Response code. NHS or account customers can order via an emailed purchase order. Trade enquiries are welcome.

Reward and recognition platform

Recent studies suggest that businesses with a more engaged team had 17% higher productivity within their workforce. This also results in 21% higher profitability. This can be achieved without breaking the bank, as it is recognised that employers are feeling the effects of the cost-of-living crisis, as well as employees. That is why Terryberry’s solution is designed to solve the problem for both.

Ian Feaver, Managing Director at Terryberry UK, said, “The cost-ofliving crisis is bringing a new set of challenges for people across the country, and having a catastrophic effect on both the financial and personal wellbeing for those affected.

“This is also having a severe impact on employers, who have already been facing huge challenges in retaining and engaging people. A full workforce of highly engaged people is critical to business success, yet with around 1.3 million job vacancies, many companies are understaffed, and morale is low.”

Terryberry offers a reward and recognition platform, designed to create a more engaging work environment for employees, increase morale within the team and delivering a more productive and efficient workforce.

Miko Coffee since 1801

The Miko Coffee story began in Belgium over two hundred and twenty years ago in a town called Turnhout by our founder Leo Michielsen and has since grown into one of the largest coffee roasters in Europe. Throughout history, we have remained committed to producing high-quality coffee products while being socially and environmentally responsible.

In the early years, we focused on producing and selling roasted coffee beans to local businesses and individuals. However, the company expanded the offer, adding new products such as ground

coffee, coffee pods, and other coffee-related products. In the mid-20th Century, Miko Coffee expanded its operations beyond Belgium, opening new facilities and distribution centres in other countries. Today, the company has a presence in over forty countries worldwide, propelling

us as one of the top coffee roasters in Europe.

In recent years, we have continued to innovate and expand its product offerings, focusing on meeting coffee consumers’ changing tastes and preferences worldwide. From our humble beginnings as a small roasting business in Belgium to its current status as a global leader in the coffee industry, the history of Miko Coffee is a testament to its enduring popularity and importance in our world.

Using technology to address the patient discharge crisis

The NHS is currently facing a patient discharge crisis, with one third of all beds filled by someone who is fit to be discharged. This is a major problem for the health and social care sector, with delays to hospital discharges costing the NHS £820m annually. Longer stays in hospital are also associated with increased risk of infection, low mood, and reduced motivation. Crucially, the cause of nearly a third of all delays is the lack of an appropriate support package being put in place. MiiCare’s technology is currently being used across the country to address this problem. We use our conversation-based AI-technology to support the process of discharging patients from hospital. Using nonconventional methods of collecting and analysing data (gait, voice and conversation), we can provide health insights that have previously not been available. These insights, in addition to established clinical data sources (like blood pressure and heart rate), are used to help assess overall wellbeing of patients in the home environment following a discharge.

MiiCare’s AI-led product supports older people, and is designed to reduce delays, improve patient care, and save the NHS money.

Some of the key features we can implement are:

u Automate and schedule patient care assessments

u Use conversations between the patient and Monica, our voice assistant, to evaluate mental health status

u Step in if symptoms of delirium/ hallucinations/delusions are detected

u Analyse changes in voice patterns to identify possible symptoms of RTIs

u Apply clinical gait analysis on the patient’s footstep recordings to evaluate physical fitness, gait abnormality, and risk of fall

u Build a comprehensive digital health record depicting the overall patient wellbeing from

conversations, gait and vitals data captured in their home

u Reduce number of patients needing to be discharged to a 24 hour residential care setting

u Provide 24/7 interactive virtual support to users that can help reassure them and their families

Our approach puts users at the heart of the design process. We use their knowledge, experience, and expertise to build something that really works for them. We also work with families, care providers, and doctors to make sure that what we have built meets their needs too.

Having undertaken numerous trials and assessments, the MiiCare solution is now scaling and rolling out across the country. Solutions like ours are essential to make sure that patients are discharged safely to their own homes, and that the immense strain on the NHS operations and budgets is relieved.

ATADesigns and Wallsmiths collaborate

Award-winning wallpaper designer

ATADesigns and wallpaper printing specialist & consultant Wallsmiths are proud to announce that their wallcoverings and murals; are now seen in care homes such as the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust, Gold Care Homes, Towerview Care, Macc Care, Bupa, Bloomfield Care and many more. They have also been featured in The Care Home & Environment Magazine and have plans for many more. Designing wallcoverings and murals for the care home and healthcare sector is an area ATADesigns have been exploring in the past years. With an ageing population living longer, more care homes are in demand. Creating a safe and caring environment in a care home is crucial including its interiors. We like to think our bespoke wallcoverings and mural designs play an integral part in this type of environment.

To help realise this project; Annette Taylor-Anderson of ATADesigns and Gareth Wyn-Jones – founder of Wallsmiths (printers), and an expert in the field of wallpaper printing, has joined forces to collaborate on this project. With Wallsmiths on board, we can offer our customers bespoke mural designs printed on specialised fire-rated vinyl for the healthcare market. We like your residents to feel right at home with our beautifully styled designs.

We (ATADesigns) create the designs, and Wallsmiths (printers) provides fantastic quality contract wallpaper printing. Whatever you want we create it.

A small investment in care home furniture can lead to huge savings elsewhere. How?

Rise and recline chairs enable residents to sit with their feet elevated and their backs reclined. This is extremely comfortable, plus a great position for circulation, joint pain and relaxation.

To change position, just press a button; good news for pressure sore avoidance. The same applies when the resident is ready to leave the chair… tap a button to gently stand.

Usually, care home staff are responsible for helping residents sit, get comfortable and stand. And let’s be

realistic, this is demanding physical work. So not only do rise and recline chairs improve quality of life for the resident, they are immensely beneficial for staff too. As for adjustable beds, it’s the same story. Residents may need to sleep at an elevated angle, or with their feet raised, depending on health needs. They may require help getting out of bed, and some adjustable beds do that too. Again, these are aspects of care that usually involve staff bending at awkward angles.

The impact of appropriate care home furniture can be measured in monetary terms; better health saves money. But more importantly, they can be assessed by the quality of life of residents and staff alike. The simplest changes can have far reaching consequences.

Automated lateral patient turning repositioned

Healthcare providers and carers are often required to reposition their patients 24 hours a day to reduce the risk of pressure ulcers. This can be very time consuming, ineffective, requires significant resources, can introduce risk to staff and patients, and might not be well tolerated.

Toto® from Frontier Medical Group is an automatic lateral turning system designed to assist with patient turning. With a powered control unit and a turning platform fitted beneath the patients’ mattress, Toto automatically turns patients at user-defined intervals, relieving pressure over their most vulnerable areas.

Toto offers consistent & controlled automated lateral patient turning intervals, supporting singlehanded care, in a lightweight, easy to use and set-up format.

Toto effectively redistributes patients’ peak pressures by tilting via discreet inflatable air cells; evenly, smoothly, and consistently even when they are sleeping. Toto offers a superior patient experience, improving compliance & resulting in enhanced outcomes.

Toto aids clinicians and carers in the regular turning of patients. The unique turning platform, placed under the existing mattress is designed to gently turn patients

at regular intervals, supporting anyone who cares for the patient, and offering a new approach to ‘Two Hourly’ or ‘Night-time’ turning.

Control your water with a flick of a switch

Surestop is a unique Stopcock, protecting properties from water damage. With a simple flick of a switch, Surestop will STOP the water supply. Easier to use than brass stopcocks. Without the use of batteries or electrics, working on water pressure alone.

In many homes, a brass stopcock is the last line of defence from water damage. They are often inaccessible or fitted in a hard-to-reach location and susceptible to seizing up, making it longer & harder to stop the water supply. If someone is unable to turn off their water in an emergency or when they leave their home for long periods of time, even a small leak could cause significant damaged to a property.

With the simple flick of the switch, the Surestop stopcock instantly turns off the water to a sink, toilet, whole bathroom, kitchen, or the entire property, dependent upon the installation site. It is an easily installed and a low-cost safety measure that should

be considered in every property.

The Surestop is WRAS approved, no maintenance & is limescale resistant so will never seize up. Surestop provides peace of mind for you and your home. www.surestop.co.uk
