The Diagnostics & Medical Devices sector in the UK is a rapidly growing one, with nearly 4000 companies, 98% of which are SMEs. The UK is the third largest market for Medical Technology in Europe with NHS being the largest consumer for these technologies. However, UK market access environment like many in Europe are constantly evolving with major changes in recent years in regulations, and plan to overhaul the traditional pathways to reimbursement and adoption.

About the Medical Device and Diagnostics UK module

The Diagnostics & Medical Devices UK module includes insight from subject matter experts, a range of resources, interactive content as well as interviews with SMEs who have successfully navigated specific parts of the reimbursement pathway. Pathways are broken down into components which support you and your organisation to understand who you need to engage with what information and at what point in your pathway to market.

3. Market Size and Structure – Helping you appreciate the size and structure of the market, the organisations you are likely to encounter at what point, and where the most appropriate system levers are for your product.
