WELCOME

When I wrote the introduction to our Annual Report last year, we had just made it through the first full year of the COVID-19 pandemic. I wrote of the resilience demonstrated by Medilink Midlands and our Members and Patrons, and how the Midlands life sciences ecosystem rose to the challenge, adapted, and delivered in such difficult circumstances.

This year, in the face of headwinds, Medilink has delivered outstanding results while continuing to invest for the future. As we look to a future post-European funding, our organisation must transform and adapt again to the new environment in which we find ourselves. Medilink Midlands has delivered real, tangible value to the Midlands life sciences community, and our strong track record combined with our team’s knowledge, capabilities, experience and expertise, will ensure that we are well placed to continue leading the Midlands life sciences industry.

This year, there have also been changes to the Medilink Midlands organisational structure. Dr Darren Clark, who was formerly Chief Executive of the company, has now joined the Medilink Midlands Board as Deputy Chair, and I look forward to his continued insight to help guide Medilink Midlands going forward.

Medilink Midlands sits at the heart of academia, businesses, clinicians and Government throughout the Midlands, and our influence and connections help to bring these elements together to become greater than the sum of their parts. Throughout this report, you will see how Medilink works alongside the entirety of the Midlands life sciences ecosystem and through our work, in collaboration with our Members, Patrons and partners, we help the Midlands life sciences economy to grow and create an attractive proposition for investment.

Last year, I also mentioned the need to collectively ensure that ‘levelling up’ is a dynamic opportunity realised by all. Over the past year, we have seen ‘levelling up’ take centre stage within Government and, going forward, I believe that this will remain a key part of its strategy. I also believe that Medilink, and the wider Midlands life sciences ecosystem, have the necessary capabilities to seize the opportunities that the Government’s ‘levelling up’ initiative presents.

It is my great pleasure to welcome Simon Himsworth as the new Chief Executive of Medilink Midlands. I am confident that Simon’s industry knowledge and experience will help Medilink to reach even greater heights. Simon has spent over 25 years designing and leading the delivery of business development and support programmes including global life sciences industry transformations that have driven significant efficiencies in multiple geographies around the world.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us, healthcare is a global subject and as Medilink Midlands moves forward, I believe we can showcase the Midlands on the global stage, and Birmingham’s delivery of the Commonwealth Games in August was clear proof that this is possible. We have world-class healthcare businesses in our region, and world-first medical innovations. Throughout this Annual Report, you will see how Medilink Midlands has delivered demonstrable added value to the Midlands life sciences sector, and how we will continue to ensure the Midlands is the place where life science companies choose to set up, develop and grow.

INTRODUCTION

Simon Himsworth Chief Executive, Medilink Midlands

As Chief Executive of Medilink Midlands, I’d like to welcome you to our 2022 Annual Report, which provides you with an insight into our activities from across the Medilink Midlands network, as well as the region’s life sciences community.

Our strategy this year, as we prepare for the loss of EU funding in 2023, has been about evolution not revolution, and preparing the ground to ensure we will be able to continue our regional sectoral support activities beyond this loss of significant funding.

Medilink Midlands is the regional life sciences business support delivery organisation, with specialist deployable advisory and events teams. Working with our regional, national, and global partners across both the public and private sectors, we are now in great shape as we enter 2023 and look forward to continuing to facilitate collaborations and exciting industry support activities between academics, the Government, businesses, and clinicians.

Within our organisation, we are very proud to have the sector specific skills, knowledge and expertise to deliver specialist industry support and provide engaging thought leadership material through our wide-ranging events programme across the region. We have seen the

crucial role that the life sciences sector played during the pandemic, and we need to ensure that as EU structural funding ends, life science companies in the Midlands continue to be supported to carry out their world leading research, development and innovation.

We remain committed to championing and supporting the region’s life sciences industry to enable businesses to establish, develop and grow, boosting the Midlands’ economic output from life sciences and medical technologies and creating sustainable MedTech and HealthTech ecosystems.

As we look ahead to 2023, we will be enhancing and evolving our membership offering, ensuring we provide the best possible membership value proposition. Your continued support directly helps us to provide industry thought leadership, events, exhibition opportunities, innovation days and our regional awards. We will continue to help you thrive and protect your ‘licence to operate’ in this highly regulated and complex industry, as well as providing your feedback directly to central and local Government, as we have done this year, through our Voice of Industry Report. These steps help ensure our sector is well represented at the highest level within the Government.

We’d like to thank Medilink Midlands’ Patrons and Members for your valuable contribution, support, and continual hard work over this last year - you really have helped to make it a resounding success. We look forward to working with you in 2023.

MIDLANDS IN FOCUS

Medilink Midlands has collaborated with its network to help deliver a number of regional initiatives and projects:

VOICE OF INDUSTRY REPORT

Medilink Midlands has an established network of MedTech, life sciences and support companies across the Midlands region. We were able to draw upon our extensive network and approached companies to validate the challenges and barriers preventing them from achieving their optimal growth and success.

Through this work, Medilink created the Voice of Industry Report, which looks at where the Midlands life sciences sector excels, and the barriers to growth which are experienced by life sciences companies in the region.

The report highlighted that the Midlands life sciences ecosystem and support networks like Medilink are invaluable assets to growth, and that there is great support around what funding is available.

The general view of respondents was that key organisations need to be more “joined up” and know about each other and “who can offer what”. This is very important for signposting and broadening your network and knowledge. Medilink Midlands will work with its Members and other partners to address these challenges and help the Midlands network to innovate and grow.

OFFICE FOR LIFE SCIENCES VISIT

In September 2022, Midlands Engine, Charnwood Campus and Medilink Midlands welcomed Rosalind Campion, the Director of the Office for Life Sciences (OLS), to the Midlands to meet representatives of businesses and organisations from our region’s health and life sciences sectors.

Ms Campion outlined the role of the OLS in supporting the implementation of the Government’s Vision for Life Sciences and took part in a conversation with delegates, at which they discussed shared concerns for the onshoring and nearshoring of the manufacture of pharmaceutical products and life sciences supply chain resilience.

Topics also included the need for technical skills especially at the mid/senior levels in the Midlands and the role of innovation, which

The report also identified challenges experienced by Midlands life science companies, including in:

n Regulatory changes n Supply chain redevelopment n Skill demands for new growth sectors n Finance

You can view the Medilink Midlands Voice of Industry Report here: www.medilinkmidlands.com/voice- of-industry-report

is a major theme of the Vision for Life Sciences. Also discussed was the regulatory environment and the challenges in getting innovative products to market in the NHS.

Life sciences have increasingly become a regional strength area, with the Midlands boasting over 1,200 life sciences businesses, including the UK’s highest number of medical technologies companies, and supporting over 33,000 high-skilled jobs. Our region also drives the sector internationally, with world-class universities, seven of which have medical schools, promoting strong collaboration between Academia, Industry and Health.

Combined with our manufacturing expertise, this allows the Midlands’ strength in medical technologies to provide an agile response to emerging challenges. In medical technology, the region boasts the highest number of UK companies and is the second-largest UK employer. Medilink will continue to work closely with its strategic partners across industry and Government to address and, where possible, overcome current barriers for growth, aiding the acceleration of innovation.

THE CITY OF MENTOR, OHIO

Medilink Midlands and the City of Mentor are continuing to develop their strategic collaboration to promote bilateral trade and investment between the Midlands and Northeast Ohio, through trade missions and events. These trade missions have already resulted in success as Medilink Midlands Member Uvamed has set up a US office in Mentor, having attended the very first Medilink Midlands trade mission and Conference on Innovation in 2018.

In October 2022, a delegation from Mentor visited the UK. Medilink Midlands and the Greater Birmingham Transatlantic Chamber of Commerce held an informal evening for life sciences businesses to meet with representatives from the City of Mentor. This shows how Medilink are working collaboratively globally, drawing in global best practices, and opening international markets for those participating in our programmes.

INNOVATION DAY 2022

In May 2022, over 170 delegates from across the Midlands came together for the region’s leading life sciences business event, Medilink Midlands Innovation Day.

Medilink Midlands was delighted to welcome back the life sciences community to our first major in-person event in two years. The whole day was expertly hosted by Vivienne Parry OBE, who chaired the formal talks and subsequent panel discussion, encouraging audience engagement throughout.

Sir John Peace, Chairman of Midlands Engine, headlined the event. His talk emphasised the Midlands’ strength in health and life science, as well as the importance of having a strategic plan, engaging with Government as one regional voice, raising awareness of the Midlands MedTech cluster. He also highlighted the need to bring together the spheres of academia, business, the NHS and Government as the key to regional collaboration and success.

The exceptional line-up of speakers included Rhys Donovan, Group Marketing Director of Direct Healthcare Group who presented on “How the UK can lead the way in Healthcare Innovation” and Professor Michael Lewis, Joint Director for the NIHR i4I and SBRI Healthcare Programmes, whose presentation posed the question: “Do I get my fair share of grant funding?”

MED-TECH INNOVATION EXPO

On 8-9 June 2022, eight Medilink Member companies exhibited and five were headline speakers at Birmingham’s NEC as part of the national MedTech Innovation Expo and Conference. As part of the partnership between Rapid News and Medilink UK, there was a Medilink pavilion area at the conference, featuring Medilink Members who were able to showcase their products and services and take advantage of networking opportunities.

The Med-Tech Innovation Expo and Conference is a leading national healthcare technologies conference, featuring leading innovators who delivered talks on current issues and relevant topics affecting the sector. For businesses and individuals wanting to stay up to date with trends and developments in the MedTech Industry, this was an unmissable conference, and the expo once again demonstrated the wealth of expertise and innovations within health and life sciences.

MIDLANDS CROSS-SECTOR EVENT

Four business-led sector organisations came together to host a unique cross-sector Open House. The event was delivered by Aerospace Unlocking Potential, which is led by the University of Nottingham in partnership with the Midlands Aerospace Alliance, and supports Midlands based SMEs to diversify into and out of aerospace and aviation.

Midlands Aerospace Alliance, Medilink Midlands, Rail Forum and the Motorsport Industry Association shared their knowledge of recent developments and future opportunities for SMEs across the Midlands. Case study SMEs also demonstrated how they have successfully diversified into other sectors.

Additional support and funding is available through Aerospace UP for any SMEs wanting to diversify into (or from) aerospace, aviation, space or advanced air mobility.

We know that great ideas and technologies from businesses that are experts in one sector can be applied to solve problems in another – and this event provided a forum for Midlands SMEs to network across all sectors and learn from one another.

PROJECT CASE STUDIES

SURESCREEN DIAGNOSTICS

Aspiration: Begin a small pilot study within the NHS, with the intention of scaling up to a large, multi-centre clinical trial for their new ‘Alcostick’ – a handheld, rapid blood alcohol meter.

Support: Innovation grant, 1-1 support, facilitated new connections & contacts.

Results: Creation of new Surescreen factory and warehouse facilities.

Since being founded in 1996, family firm SureScreen Diagnostics has been at the heart of innovation - creating unique alcohol testing devices in ambulances, urine tests for GPs surgeries and now the most accurate tests for Covid-19.

Surescreen’s rapid antigen tests for Covid-19 were the first in Europe to pass the validation process in the laboratory by Public Health England and have been exported to 53 countries and dependencies.

The company has worked with Medilink for a number of years and Medilink has supported Surescreen throughout its growth and evolution. Surescreen wanted to begin a small pilot study within the NHS, with the intention of scaling up to a large, multi-centre clinical trial for their new ‘Alcostick’ – a handheld, rapid blood alcohol meter.

Through the Medilink Midlands INSTILS project, part-funded through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Surescreen was supported with dedicated one-to-one support, an Innovation Support Grant and introduced the company to new connections & contacts, as well as making the company aware of relevant funding opportunities, including via the Government’s Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA).

“Medilink has been an invaluable help to Surescreen Diagnostics. With their support we were able to trial our medical technology in a clinical setting, and the adoption of this technology and the further growth opportunities provided as a result have allowed us to fulfil a real need in the UK life sciences market, at a time of national crisis, and have put us at the forefront of disease diagnosis, via our work with Testcard and Guys and St Thomas NHS Trust.”

HEAL.MED CIC

Aspiration: Scale-up for full penetration of the UK market and develop training programs for healthcare staff.

Support: 1-1 Support, new connections and contacts, including with the Department for International Trade.

Results: HEAL.med’s app is now used by children, young people and their parents in 67 UK specialist Paediatric Diabetes Centres. They have trained over 1500 patients, had 15,000 app downloads and currently have over 500 active patients.

HEAL.med CIC (Health Education And Learning) is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company set up to deliver knowledge and education to support diabetes patients. HEAL.med aims to ensure every child diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes has access to high quality and effective education through a Social Enterprise. This is delivered as Deapp, pronounced “Deep”, the Diabetes Education Application.

HEAL.med wanted to scale-up for full penetration of the UK market and develop training programmes for healthcare staff and allied professions to broaden their portfolio and bring in further income.

A SoLSTICE Advisor met with HEAL.med to see where support could best be offered. A full, company-wide innovation diagnosis was performed and it was found that, as a start-up, HEAL.med could derive most benefit from funding and industry contacts.

As part of the support offered by the SoLSTICE project, the Advisor made the company aware of relevant funding streams, referring them to the Department for International Trade, putting them in touch with the BioCity Accelerator programme and introducing them to Spirit Healthcare, who also specialise in diabetes diagnosis.

Since receiving SoLSTICE support, HEAL.med’s app is now used by children, young people and their parents in 67 UK specialist Paediatric Diabetes Centres. Over 1500 patients have been trained and the company has had 15,000 downloads of their app and achieved over 500 current active patients.

The company is aiming for further roll-out in 2023/2024.

Results: Securing of surgical transformation joint working agreement with The Northern Care Alliance NHS Group.

Awarded a place on the prestigious Global Business Innovation Programme run by UK R&I. Won funded place as part of Natwest Entrepreneur Hub.

TCC-CASEMIX Limited was conceived to address the substantial inefficiency of surgical services delivery in England. In seeking to mitigate the ‘bow-wave’ of demand from COVID-19 on the NHS, all other healthcare needs have largely been considered as a second-order priority, nowhere is this seen more acutely than in elective surgery.

Even before the pandemic, elective surgery was becoming an increasing burden on the health system, with a backlog running into millions of patients. If there is one service above all that needs to be reset, then it is surgical services delivery.

Through the Medilink Midlands ACTIS project, partfunded through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), TCC-Casemix was supported with dedicated one-to-one support, an Innovation Support Grant and introduced the company to new connections & contacts.

Medilink also highlighted relevant funding opportunities as well as making the company aware of relevant funding opportunities, including via the East Midlands Academic Health Science Network’s Evaluation Fund, and invited the company to give their views on the future of the Midlands MedTech sector as part of a regional consultation.

Since receiving Medilink support, TCC-Casemix has worked with The Northern Care Alliance (NCA) and Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust, looking at issues with surgical listing. The company has also gone on to win an Innovate UK Smart Grant.

BUSINESS SUPPORT PROJECTS

The East Midlands Academic Health Science Network Business Support Programme is delivered by Medilink Midlands and helps connect the EMAHSN with new and emerging life sciences technologies which could be used in an NHS environment. As part of the support on offer, Medilink Midlands provides:

n Business coaching, advisory support and signposting for companies based in the East Midlands looking to develop products or services for use within the NHS n Innovation support grants to East Midlands SMEs that are outside the scope of existing ERDF projects n A programme of events focused on supporting companies to access the NHS n An enhanced “NHS linkage service”, acting as a connector for businesses and clinicians n Support for EMAHSN’s NHS IP support programme.

NEUROTHERAPEUTICS

Aspiration: Develop and bring a new medical device to market for Tourette’s syndrome.

Support: MedTech Trial grant, industry-specific knowledge and contacts.

Results: Total trial participants of 145 (as of November 2022) – with very promising indications that the device is effective in helping to treat Tourette’s syndrome.

Neurotherapeutics Ltd is a MedTech company (spinout from the University of Nottingham) targeting brain health conditions with an initial focus on products to empower individuals with Tourette Syndrome to control their tics without surgical or pharmaceutical interventions.

The company is currently bringing two products to market. The first is an app that helps individuals track their clinical symptoms over the course of their dayto-day lives. The individuals will be able to use the data to support discussions with their HCP and plan their lifestyle. The second product will be a wearable medical

device that stimulates the individual’s peripheral nervous system in a way that reduces their urge to tic. Initially, the individual will initiate stimulation manually, but the subsequent versions will use physiological sensors to automatically trigger the onset of stimulation when tics are imminent.

The company has developed a prototype device to be used in a placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. Through Medilink Midlands, Neurotherapeutics has been able to apply for and receive a MedTech Trial Grant, which has allowed product development to start on both the app and the wearable device, to support this work.

Neurotherapeutics’ clinical trial is going well and their last participants finished testing the devices at the end of October 2022, bringing the total number of participants up to 145. The company is currently undertaking analysis of the video evidence of the trials to determine the final results, which aim to be complete by March 2023. The company also won a regional life science award for its work.

INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE

Interactive Software Limited is dedicated to helping labs ‘Make every sample matter’ through its purposebuilt Achiever Medical LIMS that simplifies lab data management and manages all sample lifecycle events. Medilink Midlands has supported the company over a number of years, making the company aware of relevant contacts and industry opportunities, including a business accelerator programme, run by Aston University, which Interactive Software applied for and attended.

Interactive Software has also worked in collaboration with Medilink Midlands Patron, the University of Nottingham to design, deliver and test its Achiever Medical LIMS to support the University’s COVID testing lab in its asymptomatic testing of students and staff. Online sessions were conducted by Interactive Software Limited to understand the University’s requirements and processes and train the team on how to use the LIMS.

The project involved integrating Achiever Medical LIMS with the lab’s existing qPCR machine and rack scanners as well as receiving data from its newly

HEARTFLOW

HeartFlow, the leader in revolutionising precision heart care, uniquely combines human ingenuity with advanced technology to enable physicians to precisely diagnose and optimise treatment for patients with suspected coronary artery disease. The HeartFlow FFRCT Analysis is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that aids clinicians in determining, vessel by vessel, both the extent of an artery’s narrowing and the impact that the narrowing has on blood flow to the heart. By identifying which patients do and don’t require intervention, clinicians can reduce unnecessary invasive testing, reduce healthcare system costs and improve patient quality of life.

developed selfregistration portal where students and staff scanned the testing kit QR codes and completed personal details.

This project has allowed Interactive Software Limited to demonstrate its capabilities in delivering a system quickly to meet immediate needs and provide rapid changes as needs evolve, as has been the case with Covid-19 testing protocols. Through this project, Interactive Software Limited is also able to demonstrate integration to third-party applications and the ability to provide turn-key solutions within the tightest of constraints. The system is primed to be evolved for other testing requirements. It also supports the University of Nottingham’s creation of a biobank for future testing, giving longevity to the samples collected – with appropriate informed consent. Both organisations were committed to delivering the project on time and delivering a solution that would support the testing team in processing and managing increasing sample volumes. Despite the challenges, the project was completed within 12 weeks.

Medilink Midlands, acting as part of the WMAHSN’s Meridian Industry Gateway, engaged with the company whilst in the USA. In the first week of establishing their business here in the UK, we invited Heartflow to the Launch Innovation Technology Payment (ITP) hosted by the WMAHSN on behalf on NHS England. Following their attendance at the launch, we assisted them with their ITP programme application, for which they were selected. HeartFlow continue to be involved in the programme, which has since evolved into the MedTech Mandate.

Through working with regional business support organisations, including Medilink Midlands and the West Midlands Academic Health Science Network, Heartflow has since been able to establish a UK base here in Birmingham and they are going from strength to strength. The company won a regional Medilink Midlands award for innovation.

IMED CONSULTANCY LTD

IMed is a MedTech regulatory and quality consultancy, specialising in medical devices, software as a medical device and IVDs. The company has been a Medilink Midlands Member for over 3 years and Medilink has offered consistent and varied support to IMed during that time, by putting the company in touch with relevant client and partner opportunities, organising events and in promoting IMed Consultancy to our membership.

In recognition of IMed’s regular utilisation of Medilink Midlands webinars and events, keeping their team in touch with industry changes and free training, IMed wanted to give back to the sector, which has supported their recent business growth. So, they launched a series of regulatory clinics to MedTech manufacturers with key regulatory questions and queries, which they ran all through 2021. IMed offered free 30-minute appointments on various subjects including one on IVDR, in an effort to help IVD manufacturers resolve confusion after changes to EU IVDR deadlines. As part of IMed’s Medilink membership, Medilink Midlands was able to recommend through its promotional channels, including the Medilink Midlands website and newsletter.

Another way in which Medilink Midlands helps its members is by providing exhibition opportunities. As part of their membership, IMed have always supported Medilink Midlands’ annual Innovation Day, initially attending as delegates. But in May 2022, they were able to exhibit for the first time. Innovation Day saw over 170 delegates from across the Midlands life science sector come together to network and learn all about the latest sector developments. IMed’s team made several material new client and partner connections, on the day and took an active part in promoting other members services too.

IMed was also one of 30 Member and Patron companies that exhibited as part of Innovation Day and, as a result, the company has been able to form new partnerships with a number other Medilink Members.

IMed were so delighted with their exhibitor experience with Medilink that they went on to also exhibit as part of the Med-Tech Innovation Expo in June 2022, in the Medilink Midlands Pavillion Zone. Speaking after the events, IMed’s Business Development Director Al Mills, said: “Medilink has always been a great help to IMed and, just like the Medilink Innovation Day, the Med-Tech Innovation Expo has been another fantastic example of this. The new contacts that we made at these events and the resulting collaborations that followed have been brilliant and we can specifically track new business acquired and strategic partner relationships forged, back to these events. Of course, we also bumped into many of our current clients while attending, so it was wonderful to reinforce those relationships in person too.”

POWERBREATHE INTERNATIONAL

POWERbreathe is the manufacturer of a range of inspiratory muscle training devices. Inspiratory muscle training with POWERbreathe has been scientifically proven to strengthen your breathing muscles to help them cope with demands of breathing, whether due to physical exercise or illness. It is often dubbed as being like a ‘set of dumbbells for your lungs’.

A problem had arisen with the POWERbreathe operations manual and their Polish distributor.

POWERbreathe needed expert regulatory advice, and sought Medilink Midlands assistance. Having been a Medilink Member for a number of years, POWERbreathe approached Medilink and asked for their help in sourcing a regulatory expert to help resolve the issue. Medilink was able to put POWERbreathe in touch with four such companies in its network and one in particular, Advena, was able to help POWERbreathe resolve their issue.

POWERbreathe has over 30 distributors worldwide and in the past year alone, their exports have increased by 21% which now accounts for 96% of their business.

The University of Colorado chose the POWERbreathe K-Series IMT devices to use in part of their major clinical trial into the effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) on lowering blood pressure, reducing heart attack risk, as well as boosting cognitive and physical performance. During the trial, they found significant drops in blood pressure and improvements in large-artery function among trial participants who perform POWERbreathe IMT. As a result of this study being published, POWERbreathe experienced an upsurge in demand for their products not only in the USA but also Europe and internationally.
