Rudolph & Hellmann Logistics Insights Newsletter Autumn 2024

Quarterly newsletter from Rudolph & Hellmann Logistics Solutions www.rudolphandhellmann.com LogisticsInsights Autumn 2024 With a new government and a fresh pledge ‘to build an NHS fit for the future’, we ask how can those in procurement identifying opportunities to fortify resilience, enhance efficiency and optimise service performance. Unprecedented challenges and rising year on year service demand The NHS has encountered unprecedented challenges due to global events such as COVID-19, Brexit, the war in Ukraine, and various political and climate disruptions. These events have notably impacted the NHS supply chain, leading to increased demand and supply volatility, which has caused critical shortages. The ambition to reduce cost, build greater resilience and flexibility to underpin improved patient care is undermined by the lack of data to accurately plan or evaluate the investment at a regional level. Without it, it’s very difficult to get the business case and funding approved. The ambition to drive a quantum change in supply chain performance and efficiency We believe Rudolph & Hellmann are uniquely positioned to help NHS Trusts to explore how they can develop local solutions to measurably deliver value and best practice. So they can deliver on the key supply chain priorities identified. We will help you see healthcare logistics differently and ensure more of your resources can be focused on patient care. Operational logistics helping the NHS focus on clinical needs The Midlands Economic Summit 2024 Helping you see healthcare logistics differently... Rudolph & Hellmann were sponsors of the prestigious annual event which took place at the Vox Conference Centre. A hub of innovation and endeavour The Midlands Engine economy is worth over £252.6bn per year and accounts for 22% of England’s exports – more than London and the South East. The Midlands Economic Summit is the largest gathering of business leaders, senior policy makers and parliamentarians invested in the region. Driving Investment, Powering Growth This year’s Summit, themed “Driving Investment, Powering Growth,” was particularly timely for the Midlands and the entire UK economy. Despite significant growth potential, the region faces substantial challenges, including economic instability, geopolitical tensions, high prices and interest rates, and evolving work patterns. The Summit focused on what could be done to strengthen the Midlands economy, and how we should focus on creating a unified regional identity that leverages existing growth opportunities to attract investment.
