Hope Enterprises wins ERBI Medtech NHS Partnerships award

A project which has the capability to shorten patient waiting lists for CT scans used to detect life-threatening conditions such as brain tumours, has won Hope Enterprises the ERBI 008 award for NHS Partnership, sponsored by Health Enterprise East.

The team worked closely with NHS staff to capture the data needed for specially customised prediction software. The software demonstrated that a ‘zero wait’ can be achieved and a same day service offered to patients, thereby avoiding the need for a return journey to hospital.

The award was presented to Roger Thorpe, Managing Director of Hope Enterprises by Barnaby Perks of ERBI Medtech, and award sponsor Dr Peter Blenkinsop of Health Enterprise East.

Hope Enterprises provides specialist training and consultancy and applied techniques from industry to benefit the public sector. Roger Thorpe said:

“We’re delighted to have received this award. We hope that by showing how one CT unit can be analysed and streamlined, our techniques can be rolled out across other areas of the NHS to provide an improved service for patients and make better use of resources.”

Judge Dr Blenkinsop was impressed with the approach taken: “Hope Enterprises’ solution shows how innovative ideas from one industry can have applications and benefits in another. The solution has the potential to save £2000 a day by reducing the need for mobile scanners.”
