Former rugby stars prove a big hit at Howorth Air Technology

Rugby league players are used to making big hits on the pitch – now former stars of the sport are proving a big hit off the field, helping Howorth Air Technology stay ahead of the game on employee welfare.

Howorth’s partnership with the charity Rugby League Cares sees ex-players draw on their personal experiences and specialist training to deliver mental fitness and wellbeing workshops to the company’s employees.

The latest coaching session at Howorth under the charity’s Offload programme was delivered by Bob Beswick, whose league career saw him make 433 senior appearances for clubs including Wigan, Widnes and Leigh, as well as 25 international caps for Ireland.

Howorth director John Hale said teaming up with Rugby League Cares has proved to be a great match.

“The positive impact of the Offload sessions delivered to our teams flows through to productivity and the bottom line. The partnership with Rugby League Cares is one of the many building blocks that has enabled our business growth and employee engagement over recent years,” he said.

The partnership also sees Howorth staff hold events at its sites in Bolton and Salford to raise funds for the charity.

Rugby League Cares, founded 10 years ago, is an independent charity which supports players at the end of their careers by providing education and training grants to equip them with the skills and qualifications they need for the next stage of their lives. It also provides practical and financial support to current and former players who have poor health or are enduring hardship.

In the communities where rugby league is played, the Offload programme has helped tens of thousands of people in businesses and organisations to better manage their own mental wellbeing and support those around them.

Many Howorth staff are avid RL fans and the company has won several awards for its commitment to the development, wellbeing and engagement of its employees.

John said: “We have a proud culture of valuing and empowering our people, providing a safe and enjoyable place to work and enabling them to receive the technical and wellbeing support they need to develop in their jobs and thrive in their lives as a whole.

“We know from the positive feedback we’ve received that the Offload sessions are of real tangible benefit to the individuals taking part, their family circles and friendships.

“People feel that they help them to build resilience and coping strategies. They’ve been motivated and empowered to look after themselves from a mental fitness and wellbeing perspective, and that in turn has had a beneficial impact on the business and employee engagement.

“We have six Offload workshops each year, which are well-attended, and we provide monthly drop-in sessions as part of the programme too. We also help the charity by raising funds, and we open our doors to RL players who are looking to transition from their career as a professional athlete, to help them to understand business and the 9-5 life.”

Howorth, which has its headquarters in Farnworth, Bolton, and a facility at Raven Locks in Little Hulton, Salford, designs, manufactures and assembles ultra clean air equipment for use in operating theatres, and for the pharma, biotechnology and life science industries. The company, which turns over more than £20m a year, employs over 130 staff across its operations in the UK and the United States.

John was among the guests at a recent event at Speaker’s House in Westminster. Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House of Commons and president of the Rugby Football League, hosted the event, which was held to showcase the work of Rugby League Cares and recognise the support of its partners.

Chris Rostron, chief executive of Rugby League Cares, said: “We were delighted that Howorth were able to join us at Speaker’s House as we celebrated both the important work the charity does in rugby league communities and the vision we share with our partners for enhancing the mental fitness of those closest to us.

“Howorth’s progressive and proactive approach to mental wellbeing is reflected in the company’s continued growth, and everyone at RL Cares is proud of the part we are playing in that success. Howorth’s managing director Jim Liptrot and his team are passionate advocates for our Offload programme and we would like to thank them for championing our work so enthusiastically within the corridors of power at Westminster.”

Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) Market valued at US$ 8.8 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10% to reach ~US$ 14.2 billion by 2026

Decentralized clinical trials (DCT) employ a method of conducting clinical trials where parts or all of the trial happen outside a traditional physical clinic or trial site. Telemedicine, local/mobile healthcare providers, and digital/mobile technology are used to perform clinical trial studies.

The Global Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) Market valued at US$ 8.8 billion (2021) is set to witness a healthy growth rate of 10% to reach ~US$ 14.2 billion by 2026.

Some of the main factors propelling the global decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) market include the advantages of DCTs, Covid-19, growing adoption by pharmaceutical, medical device companies, and research organizations (CROs), formation of industry stakeholder groups like the Decentralized Trials & Research Alliance (DTRA) to facilitate collaboration and research, favourable funding & regulatory outlook, and surge in M&A activities. However, concerns around patient data privacy are likely to hamper the growth of the decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) market.

Covid-19 Spurs Adoption of Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) Market

Internationally, Covid-19 had a negative influence on health care, and the clinical industry was not an exception. The challenges of doing clinical research during the Covid-19 pandemic resulted to the termination of more than 2000 trials that were registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. Covid-19 harmfully impacted participant recruitment, retention, the safety of trial subjects, protocol compliance, and highlighted the need for safe, reliable, and secure remote capabilities, which in turn led to a renewed focus on digitization.

Decentralized clinical trials (DCT) have become a vital tool in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, providing for the remote recruitment of patients, physician visits/patient consent can take place via telemedicine, and mobile technology can be used for remote data collection.

“The Covid-19 pandemic compelled several sponsors to incorporate virtual elements such as telemedicine, remote electronic medical record access for monitors, and virtual monitoring of data & study documentation into their trials.” – Senior Director, Leading DCT Solution Provider, United States

Explore Premium Report on Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) Market @ https://meditechinsights.com/decentralized-clinical-trials-market/

Regulatory Hurdles Likely to Hamper Adoption of Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) Market

The digital tools utilized for decentralized trials have not kept up with the market’s clinical trial regulations.  For instance, for wearable devices, there is a need to create an ecosystem where data from different devices and technologies are standardized, validated, and exchanged without data integrity issues.

Regulatory agencies follow a variety of approaches to DCTs, but currently, there is no international standard. The DCT regulatory landscape is continuously changing, and hence clinical-trial sponsors need to align their studies with the most up-to-date guidelines. For multi-regional clinical trials, there is a need to recognize the increased regulations and limited possibilities for variation in research methods. A customized strategy and consideration for complexity in the clinical trial design are required for all global clinical trials that implement decentralization.

Growing Adoption and Financial Backing of DCTs by Pharmaceutical, Medical Device Companies, and Contract Research Organizations (CROs)

Due to Covid-19, pharmaceutical, medical device companies and contract research organizations (CROs) have all increased their usage of the DCT model in recent years:

  • To reduce contact, improve the patient experience and keep studies on track during the Covid-19 pandemic
  • Due to the growing trend toward more patient-centric trials
  • The formation of industry stakeholder groups to facilitate collaboration and research
  • The possibility of reducing trial time and costs. Cost savings arising from diverse sources, including fewer sites (i.e., less investigator fees and costs for patient visits, and other site costs), less patient travel costs, and less site monitoring and management fees

Additionally, funding from large pharmaceutical companies to specialists in virtual clinical trials is probably going to expand the market.

For instance,

  • In August 2020, Science 37, an American clinical research company that specializes in decentralized clinical trials, secured $40 million in funding from Novartis, Amgen, Sanofi, PPD, and Google’s VC arm.

The decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) market is a booming market that is expected to gain further momentum in the coming years due to its ability to harness technological developments to improve the efficiency, participant experience, and generalizability of clinical studies.

Competitive Landscape Analysis of Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) Market

The global decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) market is marked by the presence of players such as ICON, Parexel, IQVIA, Covance, Thermo Fisher, LEO Innovation Lab, Huma, Medidata (part of Dassault), Oracle, CRF Health, Medable, Signant Health, and Clinical Ink, among others.

Dental consumables are products that dental professionals or dentists use on patients to treat and/or perform procedures associated with preventive, restorative, diagnostic, and emergency oral health issues. Dental implants, crowns, bridges, dental biomaterial, orthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics are the main components of dental consumables.

The Dental Consumables Market is expected to grow at a rate of ~6% to reach ~25 billion by 2026. The global dental consumables market is primarily driven by factors such as the increasing geriatric population, the rising demand for cosmetic dentistry, the growth of dental tourism in countries, and the rising awareness of the value of oral health.

The Advent of CAD/CAM Technology in Cosmetic Dentistry Drives the Dental Consumables Market

A relatively new technology called dental CAD/CAM can improve the patient experience during dental treatment.

Growing Opportunities in Dental Tourism Fuels the Dental Consumables Market

Dental tourism has risen in popularity alongside the medical tourism industry as more patients travel overseas for dental treatment. The high cost of dental care services, lack of insurance coverage, and dissatisfaction with available services in home countries have motivated people to seek affordable, speedy, and better quality dental care in foreign countries. The dental tourism market has seen exponential growth in recent years, with countries like Turkey, Mexico, Hungary, Poland, and India emerging as destinations.

Dental Practice Management Software Market is unlocking new growth opportunities at a CAGR of 10% by 2026

Dental practice management software is a class of software solution that assists dentists and other healthcare professionals in managing their routine activities/operations. Online appointment bookings, accounting & report generation, e-billing, insurance claiming, e-prescription facilities & dental imaging, and patient communication are some of the software’s key features.

The Dental Practice Management Software Market is expected to grow at a rate of 10% by 2026. The rising incidence of oral diseases and dental disorders, the increasing geriatric population, growing awareness regarding the importance of oral health, and increasing government support for the adoption of Electronic Dental Records (EDRs) are some of the main factors driving the global dental practice management software market.

Integration of Digital Imaging with Dental Practice Management Software Drives the Dental Practice Management Software Market

The integration of digital imaging capabilities with dental practice management software is a growing trend as a result of the development of digital radiography and software solutions. The software when combined with digital imaging helps dentists to create x-ray images of gums, teeth, and study patients’ dental conditions using digital X-rays, and simultaneously perform treatment planning.

A Move towards Cloud-based Dental Practice Management Software

Today’s dental practice is moving toward digital integration. The cloud-based software model is anticipated to expand rapidly over the next several years due to its flexibility, affordability, efficiency, security, scalability, user-friendly features, and automatic software updates. Additionally, browser-based cloud software can be used across multiple locations and platforms, including smartphones, tablets, desktops, windows, android, and apple products, among others.

“Cloud offers a flexible, scalable environment at a lower cost than on-premise deployments but still a majority of dental practice management software solutions are currently implemented on-premise due to security, control, and privacy reasons. However, the trend is shifting towards hybrid cloud-based software solutions.” – Executive Chairman, Dental Practice Management Software Company, US

Key Challenges/ Constraints: Dental Practice Management Software Market

Due to their ignorance of digital solutions in the dentistry field, many dental experts are concerned about the adoption of new technologies. The price of advanced digital solutions such as scanning and milling devices has been too high and utilization levels are too uncertain to pay off for most individual practice owners. These factors are likely to hamper the dental practice management software market growth.
