The ActivHeal and LiquiBand team recently attended the P4H Conference at Birmingham NEC, to build and develop relationships with key decision makers from NHS procurement and industry. The NHS procurement spend is currently estimated at £26 billion1. As part of the NHS Five-Year Forward View, efficiency savings are high on the agenda, with a £5 billion saving per year recommended by Lord Carter in his Operational Productivity Report. There has never been a more important time for both sides to connect and explore opportunities for collaboration.

The Future Operating Model for Procurement, together with other ongoing initiatives, aims to help procurement departments deliver against this target so the teams were best placed to offer cost saving advice on their product ranges which includes wound care and surgical wound closure. 

The ActivHeal wound care range was developed for the UK market by global wound care manufacturer Advanced Medical Solutions Ltd. Our range, purposely designed for the NHS offers clinicians, a simple, clear and cost effective wound care choice, whilst ensuring the best clinical outcomes for patients. In a modern day NHS, finding the least costly dressings that meet the required performance characteristics is a challenge, but one we are encouraged to overcome². 

ActivHeal offers competitive pricing on its full wound care range without compromising on quality. For more information on how you can implement cost savings across your current wound care spend while ensuring patients have access to comparable ^3,4,  and in some cases stronger and more absorbent dressings⁵  than other branded products, register your interest below for more information.
