Join us for this webinar explaining the need for SMEs to understand why it is important to involve their customers prior to designing, manufacturing and selling their product to the NHS and the benefits that this approach can provide.

There will be an extensive Q&A session where there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions to leaders in Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE).

Questions for the panel can be emailed in advance at mdmc@hw.ac.uk.

This webinar will be of interest to designers and manufacturers developing medical device products and want to understand the importance of patient and public involvement and how this can help shape their products.
