Keynote Address
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (confirmed)
President, Health Care Supply Association
“Stepping up to the plate”
The role and responsibilities of procurement professionals are changing rapidly and the NHS will become increasingly dependent on them to take much more responsibility to influence key players in their institutions, deliver value in core areas of NHS expenditure and much more actively drive and take advantage of innovation and collaborative opportunities.

Main Sponsor
John Neilson (confirmed)
Chief Executive, NHS Shared Business Services
“Commercial procurement: driving the transformation of the NHS”
NHS Shared Business Services recognises the benefits for the NHS in adopting a more commercial approach. By focusing on the four key building blocks – leadership, partnership, people and processes (including systems) - NHS Trusts can instil a culture of commercial best practice and behaviours at all levels of the organisation, thereby ensuring the benefits are sustainable long term. During the session this concept will be explored. Drawing upon real examples, delegates will leave with a better understanding of how a more transformational approach can unlock their commercial capability, ultimately releasing more cash for frontline care.

Edward Green (confirmed)
Head of Domestic Policy and Standards, Efficiency and Reform Group, Cabinet Office
“Innovation pipelines: pre-procurement engagement with industry”
It was announced last year that the government was to publish its procurement category 'pipelines' in order to engage more effectively with industry, support the use of innovation and understand the opportunities that may exist before going out to tender. Of particular relevance to the NHS are the clinical, medical and adult social care pipelines. The government is keen that all parts of the public sector should engage with this initiative as it will support the development of new ways of doing things, new products and better value.
