AXREM and BHTA unite for conference

AXREM and the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA) hosted The Future of MedTech – Innovating for Tomorrow in Northampton, bringing together more than 80 members and key stakeholders. The conference highlighted the power of collaboration, showcasing how unity across sectors can drive innovation, address industry challenges and shape the future of healthcare technology.

With AXREM and BHTA collectively representing more than 500 companies across multiple sectors, convening such a diverse membership was not a small task. However, the event demonstrated the shared priorities and vision across the industry, reinforcing the value that cross-sector collaboration brings.

The day featured discussions on key challenges and opportunities facing medical technology. A stand-out moment was a video address from Baroness Gillian Merron, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Care. She underscored the importance of the MedTech industry, while also discussing Value Based Procurement, barriers to innovation and the 10 Year Health Plan for England.
