About the P4H Event
NSS National Procurement (NP) welcomed a host of around 700 buyers and suppliers to the iconic Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh for this year’s P4H Scotland conference. Now in its sixth year, the annual conference is Scotland’s leading healthcare procurement and supply chain event hosted by NSS NP together with event partners BiP Solutions.
The conference was opened by Director of National Procurement, Gordon Beattie, NSS Chair, Keith Redpath, and Tom Arthur MSP, Minister for Community Wealth and Public Finance. Mr Arthur reflected on the ongoing global challenges and highlighted the financial and sustainable benefits of collaborative industry efforts and innovative thinking.
Throughout the day, attendees heard from a host of speakers from across the industry. This included representatives from NSS NP, such as Stevie Mclaughlin, Head of Governance and Sustainable Procurement, who spoke about the monumental task of decarbonising worldwide supply chains, and environmental evaluations in product tenders. Whilst our National Procurement Innovation & Improvement team led by Adriana Roemmele, provided insight into how innovation can help NHSScotland discover new ways of delivering its services.
Outside of NSS, Alan Morrison, the Deputy Director of Health Infrastructure and Sustainability at the Scottish Government, gave an insightful update on the financial landscape across NHSScotland, and Susan Morris, Stakeholder Engagement Lead at Ayrshire Cancer Support, delivered a compelling presentation around the power of procurement in supporting local communities.
As stated on the NHSS event guide, “NHSS Scotland’s procurement services aims to be at the centre of the transformation of healthcare. We want to welcome and encourage businesses who believe they can innovate to develop the game changing potential for the future of healthcare. Innovation is a way of thinking. Our suppliers know that sometimes even small ideas can make a big difference. The Scotland Innovates service provides a landing zone for current and potential suppliers looking to promote new ideas for innovative products or services. The service provides potential suppliers with information on innovation and development of products and technologies, while advertising useful opportunities such as innovation challenges for industry and academia, and funding routes to assist innovators to be assessed for the Scottish public sector”.
