The process of bringing new therapeutic goods to market and to patients is all about partnerships – ARCS has collaborated closely with the TGA, the PEB and the PBAC, and government departments in the development of an exciting Congress program for 2010. This Congress will focus on partnerships with regulators and reimbursement agencies and sessions will be of relevance to those involved with peri-and post-marketing activities for therapeutic goods (prescription and OTC medicines, devices and biologics).

The Healthcare Innovation Expo is expected to attract 10,000 delegates - mostly frontline clinicians, managers and procurement officers from the NHS.

The EXPO is unique in bringing together the NHS, private, scientific, academic and voluntary sectors to see and learn about innovation in healthcare. The EXPO provides an excellent opportunity for exhibitors to observe and learn from other cutting-edge organisations, form new contacts with NHS decision-makers and develop new business partnerships.

The theme of EXPO 2010 will be on driving the systemic uptake of innovation to support large-scale change in the NHS over the next 18 months. This means more of a focus on adopting and adapting innovations that are proven to improve the quality of patients’ outcomes and experience and drive productivity gains. Because of this exhibitors must submit a proposal on the types of innovative healthcare products you might exhibit. Unlike many traditional trade fairs, exhibitors at Innovation EXPO are selected on the basis of their innovative and relevant content and are not charged for floor space.

Companies interested in exhibiting at EXPO 2010 are required to complete an Exhibitor Stand Proposal Form by May 12. For a copy of this form and details on how to apply please email Joe Dodd at UK Trade & Investment, joe.dodd@fco.gov.uk or phone 03 9652 1605.

If you are selected, you will then be charged a registration fee ranging from £149 to £199 depending on your sector and an administration fee starting from £800.
