Event Sponsors Helping Shape the Future of Healthcare Innovation and Research

As we prepare to welcome colleagues, partners, researchers and innovators to this year's Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust Research Event, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to our sponsors whose support is helping make the event possible.

Research thrives through collaboration. Whether supporting clinical innovation, enabling research delivery, improving digital communication, or helping transform data into meaningful insights, our sponsors play an important role in advancing healthcare improvement both locally and nationally.

This year's event is proudly supported by Mölnlycke, Alertive, EDGE and IQVIA, organisations that share our commitment to innovation, evidence-based practice and better outcomes for patients.

Mölnlycke: Supporting Innovation in Patient Safety

Mölnlycke's purpose is to revolutionise care for people and planet, improving health outcomes while reducing the environmental impact of healthcare.

Our partnership with Mölnlycke has been strengthened through the introduction and evaluation of the Steriwave® system at Mid Yorkshire. Led by Dr Stuart Bond, Consultant Antimicrobial Pharmacist and Director of Innovation, the NHS-first implementation attracted international recognition and contributed to a reported 71% reduction in surgical site infections.

The collaboration continues to evolve, with plans to explore the use of Steriwave® in additional clinical settings through future research, helping generate evidence that could benefit patients across Mid Yorkshire and the wider NHS.

Through a shared commitment to innovation, patient safety and research, Mölnlycke continues to demonstrate how industry and NHS partnerships can drive meaningful improvements in care.
