Hadley Beeman, Chief Technical Advisor to Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care

Congrats to the Giant Health Event team for a cracking first day so far. Talk of the day for me was def futurist Dr David Wood on AI and 4th Industrial revolution. Amazing data.

Off to the Giant Health Event today. Fieldfisher colleagues went yesterday and were impressed by the sheer numbers of new businesses in the healthtech sector

Sarah Ellson, Partner, Fieldfisher

Enjoyed the femtech track today at Giant Health Event - plenty of unmet needs in women's health with innovation still needed in contraception, menstruation, infertility, menopause, incontinence. A very lucrative market for medtech companies to sink their teeth into!

Catherine Longworth, Reporter, Medtech Insight

Just returned from a fantastic GIANT health 2018. Was great to connect with many healthcare entrepreneurs and change makers.

In 2018 Parkinson’s Concierge Ltd attended the Giant Event in November as guests. This is really where our path led us to Patient Engagement. We met many of our intial business contacts here. Including meeting one of our “Key Partners” ReMeLife. We are a small organisation looking to build a global community of People affected by Parkinson’s. We are also establishing a very strong presence now within the Business sector encompassing worldwide Pharma, Biotech, Med Tech, Academia, Research & Parkinson’s Charities. Without being able to attend events such as Giant, we would not have been able to scale our business in the timescale we have done , which has all been done by self-funding, and extremely hard work, passion & commitment to make a difference. These contacts we have established ourselves by networking, public speaking, or being panelist’s at events such as Giant. Normally we are invited to these events by our Partners or Mentors who are all Global Companies based in UK, USA, Russia & Europe. Thank you again for your support to help us on our way from the Team at Giant.
