Medical device show gives free advice

Potential suppliers to the medical device industry are being offered exclusive and FREE insights to 'making your business ready to supply the medical device sector' in the MEDTEC Innovation Theatre at Advanced Manufacturing UK (Birmingham NEC, March 25-26). Presented by some of the best brains in the medical device business, the programme is designed to help new suppliers avoid some of the pitfalls often encountered when first entering the supply chain of an industry sector that forecasters say this year will grow by 9 per cent. Starting by looking at the 'Opportunities available' (by Medilink WM CEO Tony Davis), the presentations on Wednesday March 25 continue with 'Is your business a medical business?' (by Ewart Woolley, Director of CMPR) and goes on to describe 'Seven steps to certain commercial death - and how to avoid them,' by Reeves Green's Graham Green and Lisa Green. Then there's 'Commercial opportunities for component manufacturers' by Medilink WM Connectivity Director Chris Dyke and 'Designing for usability - an NHS hot button' by Medilink WM Connectivity Manager Chris Ramsden. The MEDTEC Innovation Theatre is one of a comprehensive series of education programmes being staged at MEDTEC UK - the definitive showcase of medical device manufacturing technologies dedicated to suppliers of raw materials, manufacturing, automation and outsourcing services to the medical device manufacturing sector - and the co-located events at Advanced Manufacturing UK.
