MediWales is holding an industry engagement event in collaboration with Health Technology Wales on the 25th April, which will also look at NHS access, innovation and adoption.

MediWales and Health Technology Wales have joined forces to organise an event that will provide details of the route to market for medical technologies and diagnostics in Wales and how to gather the evidence required for a health technology assessment and eventual NHS adoption.

There will also be an opportunity to hear presentations from life science companies about the health technologies they have developed followed by questions from a panel of experts.
Representatives from NHS health boards and procurement, will then talk through the adoption of health technologies and how they monitor the adoption of NICE and HTW guidance.

The event will provide a unique insight into the route to market for medical technologies and diagnostics in Wales and how to gather the evidence required for a health technology assessment and eventual NHS access.

This event is free for MediWales members and NHS staff to attend.
