MedTech CONSULTING benefits from HEE’s unique connection to the NHS through its member trusts and partnerships with world-leading teaching and research centres.

HEE have also hired analyst Suzan Ziobro (formerly at GSK and a mentor at The Entrepreneurship Centre, Cambridge Judge Business School) to expand the MedTech CONSULTING team.
Bekah said: “I'm looking forward to working with HEE’s highly knowledgeable team with a wealth of experience in medical technology both in the UK and globally. Understanding the potential financial impact and return on investment of new medtech products is imperative to their success. I am pleased to be able to support promising innovators with bringing their pioneering innovations to the market.”
