The event for medical design and manufacturing technology is expected to attract some 2,500 visitors to the Ricoh Arena. The Med-Tech Innovation Conference, produced in association with Medilink UK, will feature presentations from the likes of Deloitte UK, the Academy for Healthcare Science and NHS Digital.
The theme of this year’s conference programme is ‘Advancing Healthcare: Inform, Educate and Inspire’.
