A joint webinar and Q&A hosted by the Association of British HealthTech Industries (ABHI) and the AHSN Network has highlighted the support on offer from Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) for innovators, at all stages of development.
The webinar, held on 30 June 2022, was hosted by Richard Phillips, Director of Strategy at ABHI, and featured Professor Gary Ford, AHSN Network Chair; Nicola Hutchinson, Chief Executive at the Academic Health Science Network North East North Cumbria; and Rob Chesters, Interim Programme Lead at West Midlands Academic Health Science Network.
