“Trade associations are not just useful, but critical for engagement and guidance when targeting partnership with patients, patient groups, public affairs communities, politicians and government. Being part of a valued HealthTech community allows us to have influence, to shape, to inform and partner.
The five words that sum up ABHI: guidance, partnership, learning, opportunity and expertise.
It is a huge privilege to be the Chair of ABHI’s patient safety group, it has absolutely developed me as an individual and my everyday role, but more than that by having the group present, the company is able to grow their own knowledge and skills, and engage with those key people we all wish we could get in front of.
