About this Event

The AHSN NENC, Health Network North and the Supply Chain North East Programme, have joined forces to deliver a series of workshops to provide awareness and help businesses to better understand customers and create value propositions that effectively help them sell into the healthcare sector.

The workshops will be held virtually.

The next Healthcare Innovation Readiness Programme will take place on 25th May, 13:00-16:00 and 9th June 9:30-12:30

The purpose of the event is to enhance SMEs knowledge of the approaches to help articulate the value of a product or service offering, and guide attendees through the process of how to develop their own version, targeted at selling into the healthcare sector.

Target audience: Businesses from across the North East from a healthcare service provider background or a supplier of goods background or potentially both or with aspirations to work within this growing sector.

The workshop programme will consist of a pre-diagnostics session, two value proposition workshops and 1-1 support from the AHSN NENC and/or Supply Chain NE (of up to 12 hours of support provided).
