The market is continuously growing with CAGR of 6.3%. The healthcare system in the country is known to be high quality and efficient\, with the Korean National Health Insurance System (KNIS) providing near universal healthcare coverage to the population of 51 million. Relatively high consumption of alcohol and tobacco\, plus increasingly sedentary lifestyles and an ageing population means Korea faces a growing burden of non-communicable disease and is reliant on new technologies to keep up with the population’s needs. \nKorea has a lot of opportunities for UK companies\, particularly for products using cutting edge technology in digital health\, orthopaedics\, wound care\, dental\, ophthalmic products and elderly care. Local firms and hospitals have expressed interest in products such as dental implants\, ultrasound imaging systems\, grafts/prostheses\, biomaterials\, and PACS. There is a strong appetite for UK products\, with the UK ranking as 7th in the list of biggest importers to Korea in 2016. \nJapanJapan’s medical devices and healthcare market offers business opportunities for innovative British companies. It is the second largest medical devices market after the US with a large number of hospitals. It offers universal access and national healthcare services\, and the world’s highest life expectancies. Premium pricing is also available for healthcare innovations. Japan’s medical devices market\, valued at over £20 billion\, heavily relies on imports\, especially for therapeutic devices\, which consist of nearly 50% of the total domestic sales volume. The UK is ranked as the 8th largest exporter of medical devices to Japan. Also\, since the revision of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Act in 2014\, regulations on medical devices have been modified to allow faster and easier access to the Japanese medical devices market. Japan’s approval process is now roughly equivalent to the US. \nJapan offers a great opportunity for UK companies involved in the development of innovative medical technology\, particularly in the following areas: artificial internal organ apparatus and assistive devices\, high tech operating equipment and supplies\, ophthalmic goods\, diagnostic imaging system; therapeutic and surgical equipment and home treatment equipment.

SUMMARY:International trade in 2019 and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 12 March\, Gowling WLG office Birmingham\nBooking link: https://www.medilinkwm.co.uk/events/international-trade-in-2019-and-beyond/\n \nThe future of the UK’s international trade landscape remains unclear. There are still questions as to where we are heading in terms of the UK-EU relationship. This poses a number of challenges for businesses that are dependent on cross border trade with the EU\, and require an understanding of what measures can be taken to keep goods moving across the border\, in the event of a No Deal Brexit. In parallel to the EU-UK negotiations\, there are discussions underway that would potentially lead the UK to forming or extending trade relationships with other territories. These new trade arrangements\, so called Free Trade Agreements “FTA”s\, will offer new or improved market access opportunities for those businesses that are positioned to take advantage and understand the requirements placed on an exporter of goods or services.\n \nWhilst it is not possible to predict the Brexit status by the 12 March\, undoubtedly a viewpoint on the common challenges and opportunities around international trade and the associated compliance requirements will be invaluable. The agenda below has been kept deliberately open and will be flexed according to the position of the UK and Brexit at the time. This event will be hosted by Ursula Johnston and other trade and regulatory specialists who will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.\n\n\nBrexit update and what does the current position mean for the Life Sciences sector;\nCustoms compliance for cross border trade: common challenges and solutions;\nAn introduction to Free Trade Agreements;\nInternational trade\, contracts and Incoterms; and\nAdapting to a new regulatory environment.\n\n\nThis event is in partnership with Gowling WLG and Medilink West Midlands.\nHot drinks and pastries will be available on arrival.

SUMMARY:Organiser of Raymond and Beverly Sackler Public Lecture: Professor Anne Lingford-Hughes 'The brain in addiction – is it different?'
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce that Professor Anne Lingford-Hughes\, will be delivering our annual Raymond and Beverly Sackler Distinguished Lecture in Neuroscience\, established in honour of Professor Sir Keith Peters. \nAll drugs of abuse alter brain function\, but how do they do this\, what makes someone vulnerable to addiction and are any changes enduring? This lecture will describe how brain imaging has enabled us to investigate the impact of different drugs of abuse on the brain and how this knowledge helps us develop better prevention and treatment strategies. \nProfessor Anne Lingford-Hughes leads the Centre for Psychiatry and Addiction Biology at Imperial College London. She is also a Consultant Psychiatrist with a particular interest in pharmacological treatments of alcohol problems and other substance addictions at Central North West London NHS Foundation Trust. Her research has focused on using neuroimaging and neuropharmacological challenges to characterize the neurobiology of addiction. The aim of her research programme is to better understand neurobiology underpinning these disorders to improve treatment. \n\nProgramme \n5:00 pm- Registration and drinks reception \n6:00 pm- Lecture begins \n7:00 pm- Close \nFAQs \nWhat are my transport/parking options for getting to and from the event? \nPlease note that car parking at the Hadyn Ellis Building is limited. Disabled parking is available to the side of the building (opposite the Optometry building). \nThe nearest train station is Cathays (~5 minute walk) and the nearest pay and display on-street parking is on Senghenydd Road or Park Place. \nHow can I contact the organiser with any questions? \nIf you have any queries about this event please contact Araya-LarrainC@cardiff.ac.uk\n \nDo I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? \nNo you do not need to bring your printed ticket\, we will have digital registration available.

SUMMARY:Inside Oxford Nanopore: The UK’s gene-sequencing “unicorn”
DESCRIPTION:Dr Gordon Sanghera started his higher education in Cardiff\, where his chemistry degree was a solid foundation for a PhD in bioelectronics at Cardiff with Prof JDR Thomas\, and subsequently a career in the business of marrying biology\, chemistry and electronics to create innovative breakthroughs in blood glucose sensing and DNA analysis. \nGordon along with Hagan Bayley and IP Group was co-founder of Oxford Nanopore. He was appointed CEO in June 2005. Oxford Nanopore aims to enable the analysis of any living thing\, by any person\, in any environment.  The Company’s first device\, the MinION\, is the only portable\, real time DNA/RNA sequencer. In use in more than 70 countries\, it is being used in the analysis of pathogens\, human disease\, crop science and environmental surveillance. The MinION is even being used to perform microbiology experiments on the international space station. \nOxford Nanopore now has more than 350 employees from multiple disciplines including nanopore science\, molecular biology and applications\, informatics\, engineering\, electronics\, manufacturing and commercialisation. The company has raised more than £451M to date and is currently well funded for the next phase of corporate development. \nAs Oxford Nanopore’s products scale upwards to be suitable for large scale population genomics projects\, and downwards to potentially provide rapid tests at the point of care\, what are the implications for industry\, healthcare and even education?  And how should an emerging British technology company approach disrupting global markets? \nJoin us for this Cardiff University Innovation Network event\, where Dr Sanghera will discuss these points and answer questions. \nThere will be a Q&A session following the presentation. \nNetworking – Canapes and networking will be available from 5.30pm. \nBooking – Attendance at this event is free\, but booking is required. Places will be allocated on a first come basis. \nRegistration – Registration will open at 5.30 pm. The session will start promptly at 6.00pm.
