Pennies from Heaven

B. Braun holds the Pennies from Heaven PLATINUM award status in recognition of almost 70% of employees participating in the scheme. We received a lovely message of thanks from Maggies, one of the Pennies from Heaven charities that
B. Braun support:

“I just wanted to get in touch, to say thank you to you and your colleagues at B. Braun for the donation which we received through the Pennies from Heaven scheme last week. Thanks to B. Braun’s support, we will be on hand to support people with cancer and their families throughout the UK. The repercussions of the coronavirus health crisis are being gravely felt by our visitors and in many cases, are having a devastating impact. Many of our visitors are experiencing heightened anxiety due to disruption to their cancer treatment, coupled with loneliness from self-isolating, away from their loved ones. Your donation could not be more timely, as we work over the coming year to provide vital support for everyone who needs it.”

Supporting business, supporting customers

Over the last 12-18 months the requirement for educational training videos from B. Braun has increased. To date we have created content for Clinical Nutrition, Drug Admixture, Intravenous Therapy and our range of Infusion Pumps.
The vision was to use these education videos to supplement the clinical education support given to trusts by B. Braun during implementations. However, during the current COVID-19 crisis these videos have been vital in supporting the changing need to deliver business remotely.
You can access the training videos using these links:

Thoughts on MDR

From 26th May 2020 the new EU Medical Device Regulations should have come into force and would have applied to the UK market. This has been delayed for one year due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. The regulations have far reaching consequences; see what some key opinion leaders from the German heathcare sector have to say.
