Healthcare Engineers looking to get a better understanding of UPS systems in medical environments can learn about the latest guidance provided by HTM 06-01 in an hour-long, free webinar hosted by Kohler Uninterruptible Power.

The CPD accredited webinar will cover the fundamentals of designing a UPS system enabling healthcare engineers to explore the various UPS options available to suit their requirement as with medical IT systems, there’s no standard one size fits all solution.

The webinar will covers off key UPS considerations including understanding the load, supply requirements, redundancy, battery autonomy, redundancy and monitoring as well as design for installation, access and maintenance.

Health Estate Journal will hosted a webinar with clean air engineering specialists, Howorth, to focus on:

• The history of UCV (Ultra Clean Ventilation) systems • Why do we ventilate a critical space? • Understanding the objectives of design and validation (HTM 03, Part A) • Sustainability and the future of the NHS • Understanding why annually verify (HTM 03, Part B)

No one can have failed to notice the impact of rising energy prices over the last year. With NHS Budgets already more stretched than ever; dealing with the impact of energy prices at historic highs and the lack of budget certainty has become a major challenge.

The session will help you to better understand the dynamics of the energy market and in particular:

• What is currently happening in the energy market? • Why prices are so high? • What might happen next? • How best to mitigate the impact of rising prices • What factors to consider in shaping the right energy trading strategy

Gain an understanding of the importance of seeking compliant products, that are easy to deploy, fit for purpose, and simple to use.

The energy market has certainly hit the news headlines in recent times as the conflict in Ukraine has led to record market prices and concerns about long term continuity of supply. Similarly the IPCC’s most recent report has again highlighted the need for ever more urgent action to deliver on our carbon net zero commitments.

The session will focus upon how to: • Best mitigate the impact the of rising energy prices through an effective procurement strategy
• Implement practical energy consumption optimisation projects to reduce overall costs
• Move to practical implementation of Trust’s Green Plans and meet the associated decarbonisation challenge

The UK´s healthcare estate has been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic in the last 18 months, and Flexim is proud to have been a reliable partner in delivering and commissioning non-invasive flowmeters for vital medical oxygen for over 200 hospitals in the UK and Ireland. The webinar covers:

• Medical and technical gas metering, including medical Oxygen and Air, Argon, Nitrogen, and others – ‘no pipe entry, no microorganism control, no outages for installation’.
• Energy metering – heated or chilled water flows, delivered in kW usage.
• Steam metering solutions for autoclaves, or boiler and CHP optimisation as part of your Net Zero / ESOS audit campaign.
• Portable check metering.

David McCord, Technical Sales Specialist at Tyco, Johnson Controls, presents the latest technical advancements from the CEM Systems brand to explain ‘how they have capitalised on the latest advances in technology to deliver integrated access control solutions which give healthcare workers, patients, and visitors, peace of mind in knowing they are being kept safe, yet do not disrupt day-to-day activities’.

‘Point of use filters – Retrograde contamination; ways of tackling it and good filter hygiene practice’. The presentation, followed by a ‘Q&A’ session, delivered by Mark Aristidou, Sales and Operations Director, Dr Florian Dibbern, Managing Director, and Holger Eggert, Technical Product Development Manager, at Aqua free Solution. Topics covered will include:

• The use of sterilising grade filters, and how they work;
• Retrograde contamination – what is it, the causes, and potential steps to combat it;
• Antibacterial surfaces in such filters – their purpose, areas of application, and how they work;
• MetalSkin Medical – a ‘highly effective antibacterial coating’ used in Aqua free point-of-use filters, including the results of a test study undertaken to test standard, ISO 22196:201108, which compared the effectiveness of antibacterial additive and coatings from different filter manufacturers.
• Good filter hygiene practice.
• Disinfection of point of use filters.
