Missions
Outward Missions
ABHI organises a number of trade missions each year to improve
the competitiveness of the UK healthcare industry by making it more
aware of developments in management best practice and technology in
other countries. Missions investigate and report back on
opportunities that exist for collaboration. Missions also
investigate and assess the potential of new projects or markets
where the interests and application within UK industry is less
certain are considered.
Target market selection is based on countries and regions with
high growth rate, relatively easy access, low barriers to trade,
major consumers of healthcare products and services and /or where
healthcare systems are being restructured and expanded.
ABHI's strategic objectives
are:
- to explore the potential for co-operation between UK &
overseas organisations
- to increase the flow of information into UK companies regarding
management best practice and technology overseas
- to disseminate this information as widely as possible throught
the UK
Inward Missions:
ABHI hosts several inward missions each year. The missions
include buyers and distributors who seek to establish business
partners in the UK. Commercial officers from the market often
accompany these missions, and are able to provide valuable
information and advice on the market.
The International Department is able to arrange site visits and
one-to-one meetings with the delegations. Please contact
Theresa Ashford for information
on upcoming Inward Missions.
