Home My IPS Home

IPS recognises the mutual benefits of partnership with our commercial colleagues in developing the science and art of infection prevention. Such partnerships enables research and development and fosters professional relationships which can lead to the development and refinement of innovative ideas and products.

The IPS has developed a suite of tools which encourage this partnership between infection prevention professionals and industry:

Product Surgeries – three senior and respected IPS members are brought together in the form of an expert panel and up to six commercial organisations are able to individually meet with them for 45 minutes each and discuss the attributes of their products, technologies or designs and seek advice on matters of efficacy, in-use features and the potential or actual benefits to the NHS. For details of Product Surgeries please visit the Event Diary.

Networking Days – on the day following the Product Surgeries corporate members and other commercial organisations join with high quality speakers from government, the NHS and industry along with IPS Board members to review and discuss contemporary issues associated with healthcare acquired infection-related and specific business issues that impact on the infection prevention and control environment. This is a free day for corporate members. Prospective member companies are welcome to attend one meeting to evidence the benefits of the group and corporate membership of IPS. For details of Corporate Networking Days please visit the Event Diary.

IPS Industry Insights Technology Endorsement Programme (paid-for service) - efficacy and in-use information concerning products and technologies may be submitted by commercial organisations to IPS and will be subject to a review process. Where an expert panel are satisfied that the required standards are reached the product or technology may be placed on the IPS Industry Insights web site (https://industryinsights.ips.uk.net/) which is an open and public site and which is being developed to become the go-to reference site for endorsed product and technologies. A coveted Technology Endorsement Logo may also be used on sales and other material where products or technologies have been so approved. 

IPS Education and Training Endorsement Programme (paid-for-service) - educational and training materials from commercial organisations may be submitted to the Education and Professional Development Committee who will review their content and subject to the validity of the content may approve the content. Where these submissions meet the required standards and approval gained details will be placed on the IPS Industry Insights web site (https://industryinsights.ips.uk.net/) which is an open and public site and which is being developed to become the go-to reference site for endorsed education and training material. A coveted Education and Training Endorsement Logo may also be used on sales and other material where education and training materials have been so approved

Collaborative Projects and Educational Events (paid-for-service) – corporate members are encouraged to work with IPS in research projects for which senior IPS members are assigned to work with the member to develop and enact research concerning the product, technology or associated education and training. Additionally corporate members are also encourage to co-badge with IPS in relation to day conferences for IPS members and also parties from the wider healthcare environment . Both of these are bespoke and designed on a one-off basis and provide members with excellent opportunities to build their brand awareness amongst the IPS community.

Training Days for Corporate Clients (paid-for-service) - bespoke training days organised through the University of West London are available for corporate partners to attend to update their knowledge of infection prevention. 

IPS welcomes new corporate members. To discuss corporate membership please contact Paul Harrison on 01506 292 036 or email paul.harrison@fitwise.co.uk. For more details of the benefits of joining IPS as a corporate member visit the 'Why Join as a Corporate Member' pages on the website.

Corporate membership per se, of the IPS at no time implies endorsement of individual companies products and values nor does it entitle them to any preferential access to IPS members in the day to day course of their duties.

Scotmas Limited

Scotmas exists to help its customers minimise or remove infection and contamination risk through the biocidal power of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) and other biocides.  We believe it is possible to keep people safe from harmful pathogens, without the use of dangerous, environmentally persistent chemicals.

Scotmas surface disinfection is led by CidoxTM ClO2 tablets.  Requiring no liquids, storage of dangerous chemicals or manual mixing, tablets are added to a dilution vessel to achieve a target PPM for the disinfection application.  All surface disinfection products are supplied with a training package including safe usage posters, training videos and application pocket cards.

Scotmas water disinfection is controlled by our ClO2 generators.  Each generator is sized to suit the specific application, from supplementary disinfection of specific ‘at risk’ wards, to initial whole site disinfection.  Our generators are supplied with a host of monitoring and reporting options, designed to provide multiple safety systems and  a detailed record of water and chemical usage.
