SUMMARY:EMN EVENT: Finding solutions for South Tyneside NHS unmet needs.
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will remember and may have even attended our unmet needs with the NHS way back in early 2020 when we could meet together in a room! The event proved to be a huge success and has resulted in a number of our businesses now working with the NHS on a range of projects where their expertise and manufacturing capabilities has helped fulfil unmet needs. \nThis isn’t about creating the next wonder drug or building some sort of scientific wizardry but looks at providing practical and sometimes simple solutions to resolve a wide range of problems. These problems could include literally any form of manufacturing or engineering. \nWhilst we can no longer meet face to face at the moment we have decided to provide another event based on the same parameters but with different unmet needs. \nThis will be held via zoom on Thursday 28th January at 1pm and you can register by clicking the link at the foot of this email. \nWe will hear from Teresa Fortune who you will remember from our 2020 event. Teresa is Head of Innovation at South Tyneside and & Sunderland (ST&S) NHS FT and has worked supporting translational research and the economic and business development of the UK life sciences and healthcare sector since 2004. As Healthcare Specialist Lead with the Regional Development Agency\, One North East\, she lead on strategy realignment and developing key relationships and strategic projects with stakeholders\, including UKTI\, BIS\, DH\, pharma and local SMEs\, NHS and Academic partnerships \nSo please join Engineering & Manufacturing Network and South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust to understand the importance of innovation to the NHS\, the challenge of addressing unmet needs and how this is delivered within a regional NHS Trust.

SUMMARY:Dogger Bank Wind Farm Introductory Webinar – Operations

SUMMARY:Member to Member Event: Lets Talk: Energy
DESCRIPTION:Over the last few months we have seen energy prices soar affecting businesses profitability significantly in addition to the issues presented by escalating material and labour costs. Engineering & Manufacturing Network have been working hard to find some ways to reduce this albeit of course many of these are small measures\, but we hope they are improving bottom lines as we feel we must try and support our network and region. \nKnowing what can be done is confusing and we are hearing of slight market stabilisation in energy and also ways to reduce standing charges\, in some ways significantly. We are also hearing of ‘interesting’ methods of trying to lure businesses into new contracts that may not necessarily represent best value. \nWorking with our partners Great Annual Savings and Hartlepool College we have created an event to which we would like to invite businesses Thursday 28th April at 8am. This is an opportunity to network with your peers and also listen to the cost improvements that can be made in your business\, alongside a view of where this may all be headed to allow you to plan. \nHartlepool College have also provided an opportunity to tour their fascinating facility with a very strong focus on engineering including aviation\, automotive\, electrical and automation to name just some of their strengths. This is also an excellent way of learning how to build your future workforce through apprenticeships and upskill your current employees. \nPlease come along and join the conversation with an opportunity to speak to GAS advisors informally and without obligation. \nWhen – 8am\, Thursday 28th April \nWhere – Hartlepool College of Further Education \nAgenda: \n8.00 – 8.15am – Networking\, coffee\, etc. \n8.15 – 8.20am – Engineering and Manufacturing Network Intro \n8.20 – 8.25am – Welcome and overview of Hartlepool College of Further Education\, Gary Riches – Assistant Principal \n8.25 – 8.40am – Presentation from GAS (Craig Portsmouth) \n8.40 – 9.30am – Liaise with GAS advisers\, networking\, and College tour (if requested). \n9.30am – END \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/call-it-lets-talk-energy-tickets-293150118897

Gemma Brotherton\, Komatsu Way and PR co-ordinator at Komatsu UK\, will give delegates an insight into the launch of the K100 quick boom change system\, which is used in demolition applications\, and demonstrate how the company overcame a lack of face to face events – such as international construction expos – by embracing new digital marketing techniques.  \nThe event will also include a tour of the Komatsu UK factory – and is a fantastic opportunity to experience one of the North East’s most high- profile manufacturing operations.  \n12:00pm – Arrival\, lunch and networking  \n12:30pm – Welcome from EMN and Horizon Works  \n12:40pm – Presentations from Horizon Works and Komatsu UK  \n13.20pm – Site tour of Komatsu UK  \nThe event is limited to 30 participants. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lunch-and-learn-product-launches-thinking-outside-the-box-tickets-290278329297
