SUMMARY:ABHI 2013: Making sense of uncertainty: the impact of reforms
DESCRIPTION:ABHI is pleased to be launching their inaugural UK medical technology conference which will focus on the key areas: Regulatory\, UK Market and International. \nClick here to register \nThe medical technology industry faces huge changes to the environment in which it operates in the UK. \nReforms are everywhere. A commissioning-led NHS means imperatives and a landscape that are very different to that which has been in existence. The current regulatory system is deemed to be not enough and proposals to amend will mean significant alterations. With significant growth coming from overseas markets\, industry needs to fully understand where these opportunities exist and how best to prepare for the challenges posed by trading globally . \nThese changes are happening now. They cannot be seen in isolation – they carry real risk but also significant opportunity. They are numerous\, complex\, and impact multiple areas of businesses. Understanding and responding to that impact is becoming increasingly challenging for industry. \nOver the course of 2 days\, ABHI 2013: The MedTech Conference will provide clarity of what these changes mean. Various plenaries\, panel discussions and workshop sessions will provide delegates with a comprehensive overview of the key issues affecting future success. \nWhy you should attend: \n\nReceive the latest insights from thought leaders and decision makers\nUnderstand critical strategic trends that will impact your business\nGain practical benefit from focussed workshops\nInteract with senior NHS leaders\, Government officials\, and Parliamentarians\nNetwork with your peers and industry stakeholders

SUMMARY:NVI: Developing a Product or Service Breakfast Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Business is usually about offering someone a product or service that they feel is worth paying you for\, simple. And the fact is\, the actual size of the business has no real bearing on the success of failure of the venture.
