AfPP is aiming to further enhance the exhibitor and delegate experience at the event with the launch of the new Innovation Awards, which will celebrate innovation on the show floor.
Exhibiting companies have been invited to enter one of the following categories:
• Best Overall Innovative Product - a new, groundbreaking innovation within any area of perioperative practice.
• Best Innovation in Anaesthetics - the development of an innovation which has influenced the care given to patients during anaesthesia.
• Best Innovation in General Surgery - an innovation which has increased efficiency and productivity intraoperatively.
• Best Innovation in Patient Safety – an innovation which has contributed significantly to perioperative practitioners delivering safer patient care.
• Best Innovation in Infection Control - an innovation which has assisted perioperative practitioners with infection prevention.
Innovations can be products or services and will have been launched into the marketplace between 1 January 2007 and 31 July 2010. Entries will be judged by an adjudication panel of independent industry leaders. Delegates will be treated to the announcement of the winners and presentation of plaques at a prestigious awards ceremony during the delegates’ welcome evening on Thursday 14 October.
AfPP2010 takes place at the Harrogate International Centre from 14 to 16 October 2010. To register and for further information, visit: www.afpp.org.uk and follow the links to the Congress and Exhibition pages.
