Contract to supply NHS

Advanced Medical Solutions Grp PLC
27 January 2005


For Immediate Release        Thursday, 27 January 2005




                      Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc
                            ('AMS' or 'the Company')



               Inclusion on contract to supply wound management products
                         to NHS Hospitals in Scotland





Winsford, UK: Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc (AIM: AMS), the global
woundcare technology company, is pleased to announce that it has been selected
by Scottish Healthcare Supplies, the procurement service to the NHS in Scotland,
for inclusion on a contract for supply of woundcare products.  The award follows
an in-depth technical and clinical evaluation in a major Scottish NHS Hospital
Trust and covers a range of AMS' advanced wound dressings, which will be sold
under the ActivHeal(R) brand by the Company's MedLogic direct sales and
marketing team.



The inclusion of ActivHeal(R) is a response to cost constraints on woundcare
budgets whereby savings made on standard products for routine wounds allow
funding of higher technology products for problematic wounds.  AMS' strategy is
to fulfil the demand for these standard products by selling either directly, as
in the UK, or via private label partners whilst continuing to sell its
differentiated products through its major woundcare partners under their leading
brands.



As a UK-based technology company, AMS is ideally placed to become a new
generation woundcare supplier through a balance of innovation and cost
management by integrating with the end user.  This benefits both parties and
allows significant cost savings to be achieved by the NHS along the lines of the
highly successful generic pharmaceutical model.



Commenting on today's announcement, Dr. Don Evans, Chief Executive of AMS, said:



 'I am delighted that we have been selected for the supply of our products into
NHS hospitals in Scotland.  This is another major step forward in strengthening
our UK presence as part of broadening our routes to market.



'Following on from the inclusion of our products on the NHS contract for
hospitals in England announced in December 2004, and previous Drug Tariff
approvals allowing our products to be prescribed in England, Wales and Scotland,
this latest award means that our ActivHeal(R) woundcare brand is now widely
available for sale into hospitals, nursing homes and community care throughout
the NHS in the UK.'
