SUMMARY:MidsChem - The future of Innovation and Regulation in the Chemical Industry
DESCRIPTION:Innovation is always risky. New technologies may not perform\, or may take longer to develop than first anticipated. Does the uncertainty linked with the Brexit negotiations have any effect on the appetite of a business for innovation? Could companies be more likely to innovate when there is uncertainty? How will the translation of EU Regulations to UK Law affect the industries we are involved in? \nThe UK has a proud history of leading and supporting cutting-edge research and innovation within the EU. The government has set out proposals to capitalise on the UK’s strategic strengths to make sure we do more to commercialise the world leading ideas and discoveries made in Britain through its Green Paper\, “Building our Industrial Strategy”. \n“The objective of our modern industrial strategy is to improve living standards and economic growth by increasing productivity and driving growth across the whole country.” \nThis event will include speakers from organizations such as Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN)\, D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership and others. \nThere will also be lots of opportunity to network with other chemical science businesses. \nA tour of the GSK Carbon Neutral Laboratory will also be available. \nTo find out more about this event or register your free place\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Unlocking the Midlands' Productivity: Aligning Mental Health\, Skills and Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Poor mental health and well-being is increasingly understood as a critical barrier to productivity\, with business and civic leaders vocal on the cost to the local economy. While tacking issues such as this through closer health and care integration is a priority for many\, the financial challenges facing the mental health community – often seen as highly innovative in how it works within and across its local populations – have never been greater. This presents both challenges and opportunities. \nBuilding on the pioneering work of the West Midlands Mental Health Commission and the long-established and related innovation sector strengths that exist across the Midlands\, the Midlands Engine is working to align regional public\, private and third sector organisations with its leading research base to drive new innovations that make people both better and better off. \nThis event will bring together key communities from across the region to better understand how we can collectively engage in this important agenda and help realise the Engine’s ambitions to better align mental health with innovation. \nBackground: \nThe Midlands Engine strategy states that: \n“The government will establish a Midlands Skills Challenge\, with the objective of closing the skills gap between the Midlands and the rest of the country. The government’s first steps to support the region to meet this challenge include: \nProviding £7 million to pilot innovative approaches to supporting employers to help employees with mental health issues\, following the findings of the recent West Midlands Mental Health Commission. The pilots will build on the findings of the review currently being led by Paul Farmer and Lord Stevenson.” \n“Thriving at Work: a review of mental health and employers” was commissioned by Prime Minister Theresa May. It was written by Lord Dennis Stevenson (mental health campaigner and former HBOS chief) and Paul Farmer (chief executive of the mental health charity Mind)\, and was jointly published by the Department of Health and the Department for Work and Pensions. It includes research on costs to employers and the state. \nThe report stated that: \n“Around 15% of people in work have symptoms of a mental health condition. Around 6% of people with a long-term mental health condition lose their job each quarter – amounting to 300\,000 people each year – compared with 4% of those with a physical health condition.” \nThe costs to employers are estimated at: \n– £8 billion for absenteeism \n– £17-26 billion for lost productivity from presenteeism \n– £8 billion for staff turnover \nThe loss to the economy was estimated to be up to £99 billion a year\, including lost productivity output\, the cost of providing benefits and healthcare costs.” \nImportantly\, the Midlands Engine’s core objective is to raise the region’s productivity to that of the national average. \nWho should attend?: \nMental Health providers from across Midlands (both NHS and third sector); LEPs; Universities; Medical Innovation Businesses; Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs); Communities and Local Growth team for Midlands; Employers \nOrganisers: \nMidlands Innovation \nNHS Confederation \nMental Health Network \nConference programme: \n9.30 Registration and refreshments \n10.00 Introduction to the Day – Sir John Peace\, Chair\, Midlands Engine \n10.15 Keynote speech – Paul Farmer\, CEO\, Mind \n10.45 The aims and objectives of the Midlands Engine – Anthony May\, Chief Executive\, Nottinghamshire County Council and Chair\, Midlands Engine Operations Board \n11.05 The innovation strengths of the Midlands region – Professor Iain Gillespie\, PVC Research and Enterprise\, University of Leicester \n11.25 Why mental health matters to the region and early learning from the MHC’s work – Superintendant Sean Russell\, West Midlands Combined Authority Mental Health Commission Implementation Director and Professor Guy Daly\, Pro-Vice Chancellor (health and life sciences)\, University of Coventry. \n11.45 Coffee \n12.00 Delivering the Industrial Strategy – Liz Shutt\, Director of Policy\, Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partners \n12.20 Panel session on need for alignment and mutual benefit for place – all above speakers \n13.00 Lunch \n13.45 The challenges facing mental health providers and what the future of the sector looks like – Sean Duggan\, CEO\, Mental Health Network \n14.15 What can we do? Interactive workshops covering related local issues/plans\, running in parallel \n15.00 What can we do? Parallel workshops repeated as above \n15.50 Commitments for future working and close. Building on the learning from the day and mapping out what future regional collaboration might look like – Dean Fathers\, Chair\, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust \n16.00 Close \nTo find out more about this event or register your free place\, please click here.
