The global digital healthcare market has witnessed remarkable growth, reaching a valuation of $211 billion in 2022, and is forecasted to maintain a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6% until 2030. However, this rapid advancement also raises certain concerns. The growth of telehealth and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) for remote monitoring, plus a rise in wellness apps and wearables has given consumers the opportunity to experience new levels of convenience in personal healthcare. However, this fundamental shift towards a digital health landscape and culture relies on trust across all healthcare stakeholders, especially patients, if it is to continue to improve the shape of the overall healthcare framework.

Across the world, societies are successfully increasing access to treatment for diseases and illnesses through the use of key antibiotics, however a lack of focus on environmental considerations begins to threaten the miracles of modern medicine. For pharmaceutical manufacturers, the question is how best to manage and control waste streams across the global supply chain. Although manufacturing waste emissions aren’t the main source of antibiotics in our environment, some companies are proactively managing waste by taking a risk-based approach. Certified antibiotics offer the opportunity to streamline and simplify the procurers’ evidence requirements, leading pharmaceutical organizations to engage themselves, but also to urge more suppliers to respond by manufacturing responsibly for both people and the planet. https://lnkd.in/e2z_hbwe #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #PublicHealth #Antibiotics

The pharmaceutical sector needs to reduce its emissions intensity by about 59% from 2015 levels if it wants to meet the targets laid out in the Paris Agreement international treaty on climate change. Manufacturers have the opportunity to rethink how they can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other key environmental considerations when they design, manufacture and distribute medicines. Having previously been focused on the efficacy of medicines and patient safety, the sector is now taking into account environmental factors across the medicine’s lifecycle. The challenge in balancing patient safety and medicine efficacy, with environmental considerations, requires a pool of expertise – to appropriately cover the lifecycle of the medicine – from production through to end patient usage to disposal.

Forecasts suggest that by 2036, NHS staff shortages could be higher than 570,000, partly as a consequence of an ageing workforce. Prior BSI research notes, “many healthcare systems were understaffed before the pandemic. Ageing populations with multiple chronic conditions inexorably raise demand." Given the pressures on those working in the healthcare sector, especially in the aftermath of Covid-19, it is no surprise that for a successful age-diverse workforce, survey respondents highlighted investment in healthcare delivery and the ability for people to maintain physical health and psychological and mental well-being. This, along with flexibility in working structures and around caring responsibilities, is of clear importance. Our report outlines long-term priorities for healthcare professionals so that all can succeed in an age-diverse workforce: https://lnkd.in/ebdji77k #FutureofWork #Wellbeing #AgeDiversity #DiversityAndInclusion

“As populations age, the healthcare sector will be at the forefront of enabling more people to be able to work for longer, both physically and in terms of their mental and physiological well-being," states Angus Metcalfe, Managing Director, Global Healthcare, BSI. Healthcare organizations, businesses and governments have the opportunity to partner for the long-term so that all can succeed in the-age diverse workforce. Whether it's planning ahead, rethinking working practices or ensuring individuals feel valued in their work, our report outlines the key priorities for the sector to ensure it is in the best place possible to succeed in a future age-diverse workforce.
