MedTec 2010 held at the NEC on the 27th and 28th of April was a combination of trade show and conference. The first days’ talks on the ‘Regulatory Landscape’ was a great opportunity to hear from some high profile speakers and find out more on the ongoing challenges in regulatory affairs and views on how best to govern medical devices and technology in the future. The second day, covering the ‘Business Landscape’, proved to be very interesting with talks from NICE and NTAC giving insight into their respective roles and handy tips on making medical devices and technology attractive to the NHS.
