Health System leaders from across the NHS joined us for a roundtable discussion on how we can put healthcare workers at the heart of digital change.

The meeting was chaired by Innovation Commissioners Professor Mike Bewick and Ann Keen, and we were joined by people from the New Hospital Programme, Chief Information Officers, Directors of IT and Digital, and Chief Medical Officers. Many of whom were based in the West Midlands area.

The group made good use of the new white board walls in the SSG Conference Room to plan an effective implementation pathway for new digital solutions. This action plan took account of their collective insight on the challenges and potential solutions, derived from their diverse fields of expertise.

The meeting was recorded and a report will be published very soon. This will help others plan a successful digital implementation. Watch this space for more exciting news on this.

SSG is delighted to introduce two new team members, Paul Sanders and Steve Archer, who will play pivotal roles in strengthening client relations and expanding our healthcare solutions.

Paul, will be overseeing vital regions, including the Southwest of England and Southern Wales. With over 30 years of experience in healthcare, Paul brings a wealth of knowledge across the supply chain.

“One of the famous quotes that always sticks in my mind is “The only impossible journey in life is the one you never start” my journey has just started with SSG and it’s an exciting one, the company started its journey over 60 years ago delivering solutions to connect people and systems to provide a safer environment for both patients and staff and I am delighted to be joining that journey now to help deliver this in the very best way possible.” – Paul Sanders

Steve Archer joins SSG with a wealth of healthcare experience in Sales, Account Management and Project Management to support our healthcare accounts from Wiltshire to West London, to the South Coast.

“I’m looking forward to helping clinical teams get the best solution, so they can work efficiently and give patients the care they need, when the need it.” – Steve Acher

With their experience and commitment, they enhance our ability to deliver innovative healthcare technology solutions to a broader range of healthcare providers, furthering our mission to improve patient safety and healthcare efficiency.

To support our Healthcare customers in the fight against healthcare associated infections, at the point of production, SSG incorporates an antimicrobial agent Polygiene BioMaster™ into the touch surfaces of our nurse call systems.

Based on silver ion technology, Polygiene BioMaster™ provides round-the-clock product protection from harmful microorganisms such as MRSA and E.coli. This passive environmental hygiene is a useful line of defence as it inhibits the growth of microbes on treated surfaces, between moments of active environmental hygiene.

Matt Clutton, Product Manager at SSG (Static Systems Group) said: “The addition of Polygiene BioMaster™ into our hand units and toilet pulls helps to keep patients and clinical teams safe by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and microbes on the product, for the entire lifespan of the product.”

The silver ions enter the cell through its outer layer, block the enzymes, preventing the cell from generating energy, and disrupt its DNA, thereby removing its ability to split and replicate.

A clinical swab of surfaces within a silver-treated clinical area revealed a reduction of 92.6% in bacterial load*. A clean environment benefits both patients and staff in areas where good hygiene levels are crucial for clean, safe care.
