Note from organisers:
As you are no doubt aware, the RMT have planned a number of rail and tube strikes in June; the first of which is planned for 12 September, the date of MedTech Integrates. If this strike goes ahead, we realise the impact this would have for our delegates, speakers, sponsors and innovators.
As such, we have taken the very difficult decision to postpone the event until Monday 12 September (at the same venue). Please note:
All tickets will remain valid and we will transfer these to 12 September.
There are no changes to the agenda timings or session content.
We apologise for the inconvenience, which is of course out of our immediate control. Please rest assured we took this decision to ensure as little disruption as possible and that MedTech Integrates 2022 remains a hugely successful event.

WEBINAR: Net Zero / Sustainability: Practical Company Case Studies
2023-10-19 14:00 - 16:15 | Online
You will be aware of the NHS’s Net Zero targets to support the global challenge of climate change.
No doubt you will have already attended workshops on this topic, and there are numerous reference documents available to help you better understand the Net Zero requirements.
However, would you like to hear from small to medium sized companies that are making progress in navigating the sustainability journey, both to meet the NHS Net Zero requirements, and in doing so, reducing costs, enhancing efficiency, improving employee morale, and driving business growth?
We are delighted that member companies have agreed to share their experiences with you at this workshop.
There will be opportunities for you to ask questions relevant to where you are on your Net Zero journey, and as a delegate, you will form part of a peer network, members of which will be able to ask further questions of the speakers or other members of the network for up to a week after the event.
We do not intend to baffle you with jargon, flow diagrams, or statistics but will give you practical ‘take away’ tips for application in your own organisations.

2024-01-24 09:30 - 10:30
The vision for this special interest group is to create a forum for companies producing diagnostic technologies which involve the application of sensor systems and/or detection of biological interactions.
Biosensing for diagnostics is a critical and ever-evolving field in the realm of healthcare and biotechnology. It encompasses a wide range of techniques and technologies aimed at detecting and measuring specific biological markers or molecules through the detection of biological interactions within the device. These technologies are most often found in point-of-care applications, for example blood glucose monitors or lateral flow devices. These technologies are designed to provide valuable information about the patient’s physiological state, allowing for early disease detection, disease progression tracking, and personalized treatment strategies.
The SIG aims to provide: unique networking opportunities with industry peers, access to cutting-edge insights and knowledge, and the chance to collaboratively address shared challenges. Serving as a hub for fostering collaboration on initiatives that directly address the unique needs of our industry. Members will enhance their visibility and recognition within the sector.
