SUMMARY:Adult Deafness in Europe 2016
DESCRIPTION:The impact of hearing loss in adulthood is often underestimated and therefore under funded. Yet today we have exciting hearing technologies which can transform lives. However\, in many countries\, with increasing ageing populations and associated health costs\, access to the hearing technologies may be denied\, or the long-term management not provided. Yet addressing hearing loss early leads to better health outcomes. Now is the time to spend on hearing care to save on health care. \nThis conference address the impact of adult hearing loss\, the real costs of adult hearing loss to Europe\, and how by increasing access to today’s technology across Europe we change lives and save money. \nBringing leading experts from across Europe together to address hearing loss in today’s world. The Ear Foundation’s new report\, ‘Spend to Save’\, will be launched at the conference\, bringing together the latest European research and practice in an accessible format. \nEvent Cost: €120 \nTo find out more or to book your place\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Taking the China Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The scale of the opportunities in China’s life science sector is well documented with the pharmaceutical and medical technologies sectors expected to grow significantly faster in China compared to other major international markets – Boston Consulting Group forecasts a compound annual growth rate for both the pharma & medtech markets of 14% to 2020. \nOngoing reforms by the Chinese Government include: \n\nAn increase of public insurance coverage to 98% for both the urban and rural population\nExpansion of the list of essential drugs\nStrengthening information management services and increasing the use of electronic health records\nInvestment of billions of RMB in the construction of hospitals\, clinics and other healthcare infrastructure at county and municipal level\nThe reform of public hospitals\n\n  \nIn addition\, higher disposable income for a rapidly growing urban population is driving a new awareness and demand for better healthcare services – and an increasing demand for western medicine and treatments. \nBut China is seen by many organisations as a challenging market\, with high entry costs; a complicated regulatory environment and concerns over the protection of intellectual property. \nThis event will not only provide up to date information on the potential opportunities for UK organisations in China’s life sciences sector\, but will also address the challenges and present solutions to overcome these. \nTo find out more about this event or to register your place\, please click here.
