Advisory Groups

Medilink’s three Regional Advisory Groups (NW, Y&H and NE) are composed of business executives from HealthTech companies and senior representation from the NHS, universities and public advisory bodies, drawn from Medilink’s membership base.

Meeting twice a year, these groups provide a platform for the exchange of information, and the Group Chairs sit on the Medilink Board to ensure that we fully understand the real challenges and opportunities facing our sector.
