MedTech

IMA offers support for international MedTech companies entering the UK

 Why come to the UK?

  • The NHS is the most recognised and respected healthcare system in the world and selling into this organisation helps opens up new markets across Europe, the Middle East and the Commonwealth.
  • The NHS is the World’s largest publicly funded healthcare system and deals with over 1 million patients every 36 hours; accordingly, the opportunity for sales is very large.
  • The NHS is actively looking for new technologies through the National Institute of Clinical Excellent (NICE) Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme (MTEP) that provide benefits to patients and the health and social care system over current practice
  • The UK medical devices market is growing as the NHS looks for new, less invasive, lower cost and better outcome solutions.
  • The NHS has a major productivity challenge and products that save money have a huge opportunity provided they are presented in the proper manner

Be prepared

The NHS is a complex organisation and it’s important for MedTech companies to achieve the green traffic lights shown in the following IMA slide.
