About this event
The current NHS environment demands fast, expert, and adaptable commercial strategies. Traditional recruitment models, characterised by long lead times, vacant territories, and high indirect costs, no longer offer the speed or agility required to capitalise on today's opportunities.
In this exclusive, 45-minute strategy session, you will receive direct insights from established industry leaders into a new commercial model. This model is specifically designed to navigate market uncertainties, establish immediate UK presence, and pilot new strategic initiatives while eliminating commercial risk.
Join CHASE CEO Graham Hawthorne and Commercial Consultant Tim Wheeldon to learn the expert strategy for capitalising on the NHS "Fit for the Future" 10-Year Plan and securing your path to sustainable growth.
This 45-minute session will cover expert strategy and critical insight, including:
- Leadership consensus: Insights from 50+ years of combined experience on the strategic path to accelerating time-to-market and minimising commercial risk in the UK.
- Capitalising on the NHS opportunity: Understand the strategic direction of the "Fit for the Future" 10-Year Plan and how to create a clear pathway for medtech adoption.
