Medical Devices Workshop - Tuesday 8th July 2008
Ever had a great idea that could be used as a medical device?
Not sure about the next steps?
There are many specialists offering support for these ideas. Medilink East Midlands are running a one day interactive workshop with breakout sessions, covering issues such as:
- How, when and where do you include these specialists into your project
- Where do you find the money to pay them
- How do anticipate and avoid problem situations during your project
- How to deal with problems when they do occur
- How can all this be done whilst protecting your interests
Key facilitator is Eddie Adamowicz, who has spent the last 5 years dealing with these issues in a real life situation, bringing his own medical device from concept, all the way through to product and forming his own company Cinimod (IP) Ltd
The workshop will be held at BioCity, Nottingham on Tuesday 8 July 2008 running from 9.15am to 4.15pm
Refreshments, finger buffet lunch and course materials are included
Advanced registration is required. As attendance is limited to 18 participants, please book online as soon as possible to secure your place or contact Bushra Sim via email or on 0115 912 4337
