3 Agenda Our efficiencies and savings programmes Compare and Save Why dressings and wound care Category overview and products in scope Supporting your clinical and procurement teams Summary and our ask of you

4 Our efficiencies and savings programmes As nurses we use millions of pounds worth of clinical products, we need to lead on the value initiatives to help support the front line Mandie Sunderland, Chief Nurse Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust /savings

5 What is Compare and Save? A support programme helping you identify and achieve realistic efficiencies and savings by moving to comparable products What is it? Underpinned by a data programme providing a granular level of detail, not previously available Efficiencies and saving opportunities depend on the category and your trust It requires your commitment. What s new for 2015? *Maximum national savings potential New for 2015 More support - investment in additional clinical and non clinical support Focus on three key categories in line with your feedback: Haemostats - 3.7m* Wipes - 2.9m* Dressings and wound care m*

6 What s been delivered so far Since 2013 we ve supported trusts save 7,968,822 Who has benefited? And how? Between January and March 2015 NHS trusts have saved 1,727, trusts are currently achieving efficiencies and savings by moving to lower cost comparable products through Compare and Save. NHS Supply Chain has the information about what we are using and the price of all the alternatives. They do the hard work for us and obtain the samples which stop individual companies knocking on our door taking up our time. We have found it to be a really positive experience.
