About
The Redistributed Manufacturing in Healthcare Network (RiHN) invites you to discuss the challenges and opportunities that redistributed manufacturing (RDM) offers, particularly point-of-need manufacturing for the medical sector.
RiHN links over 250+ interdisciplinary members, with an interest in developing healthcare manufacturing in remote and resource austere environments. The constrains of operating under such challenging conditions has prompted a new approach to providing healthcare solutions closer to the point-of-need.
Description
Through innovative new technologies, RDM offers a new manufacturing strategy; moving away from a centralised manufacturing supply chain, and using a more resilient network of individual manufacturing nodes which work in concert to meet healthcare demand. The network has delivered and participated in numerous national and international events, workshops, panels, and presentations.
Having previously identified the four major technology themes that offer the best benefit to healthcare, RiHN now turns its attention to how manufacturing at the point-of-need redefines the business case, and the operational requirements to do so. We intend to support the talks with insight from member polls, our steering board, major stakeholders and champions for RDM.
Being able to meet in-person allows us to showcase facilities of partner organisations such as the Centre of Process Innovation (CPI), home of the national biologics manufacturing centre and the RNA centre of excellence.
How to attend
CPI will be hosting tours of both facilities and an opportunity to meet with some the technologists. Our next event will be Redistributed Manufacturing (All technologies) on Tuesday 18th October from 9:30am to 3:30pm which will be held in person at the CPI National Biologics Manufacturing Centre in Darlington.
