Join us for our Edinburgh Medtech Forum where we bring together healthcare, medtech and healthtech professionals from around Edinburgh.

About this event

Come join us for our second Edinburgh Medtech Forums meeting! We will be joined by our guest speaker Dr Matt Freer, CEO of Infix Support Ltd who will share his experience of funding and growing a successful innovative startup and selling into the NHS.

You’ll have the opportunity to get to know other members of the Edinburgh Medtech community as well as enjoying some light refreshments.

If you are interested in Medtech and our future events, and are based in Edinburgh, please register here to be kept up to date with the Medtech Forums.

About our speaker:

A consultant anaesthetist in NHS Scotland, Dr Matt Freer is founder and CEO of Infix Support. Infix was founded in 2019, driven by his frustrations with the theatre inefficiencies and poor healthcare software available to us.

"Our Scottish health-tech start-up seeks to revolutionise management of patient waiting lists and improve the use of operating theatre capacity and support staff in the NHS. Latest figures show that Infix helped NHS Lothian save around £2 million in just 24 weeks by improving operating theatre efficiencies and operating on an additional 1107 eye cases.

A business is not just built on the quality of the product, but more on the belief you have in its success, the leadership and inspiration from the founder, and the strength of the network/team around you. Humility and Resilience are the two most important lessons you should learn to be successful as a start-up."

This event is open to anyone interested in Medtech, but we’d particularly like to encourage the following to join us:

  • Allied healthcare professionals, including NHS colleagues

  • Primary care and acute hospital trusts

  • Biomedical and computer science students/graduates

  • Existing spin-outs from Universities or the NHS

  • Existing Medtech startups
