How the Medtech Services Manager can help you!

The Medtech Services Manager will:

• provide a single point of contact for Medtech healthcare companies

• help companies access NHS clinical, scientific and technical expertise, to help speed the development of new products and processes

• facilitate initial product evaluations in a clinical setting, bench-testing and clinical studies within the NHS

• help identify and enable communication with key opinion leaders and early adopters of innovations in the Eastern region

By helping companies in these ways, and assisting the NHS to communicate its needs back to industry, resulting products will:

• have a better chance of adoption by the NHS
• have a better chance of bringing benefit to patients
• have lower development costs from a more efficient development pathway
