It culminates with the opportunity to pitch to a panel of investors and healthcare experts, who will provide invaluable feedback for you to take your business forward.

Following on from this, there will then be opportunities to take part in specialist surgeries, events at which you can gain access to experts in the NHS, business mentoring and investment showcases.
