SUMMARY:Virtual Global Expert Program: Jennifer Head
DESCRIPTION:​This session will explore how innovators can develop a credible and practical strategy for entering the NHS market. \n​While many companies focus heavily on regulatory approval and clinical evidence\, successful NHS adoption depends on a much broader set of commercial\, operational\, and system-level factors. \n​Drawing on real-world experience supporting MedTech innovators\, we will explore: \n\n​How NHS decision-making works across clinicians\, commissioners\, procurement teams\, and integrated care systems\n​The different commercial pathways into the NHS and how to determine which is most appropriate for your technology\n​Why strong clinical evidence alone is rarely enough to drive adoption\n​Common strategic mistakes innovators make when approaching the NHS market\nHow to realistically assess whether the NHS represents a viable and scalable commercial opportunity

SUMMARY:‘Morning Tea & Learn’ with Dr Greydon Gilmore
DESCRIPTION:Join this event to hear from Dr Greydon Gilmore\, a Canadian neurophysiology expert visiting Perth to connect with WA’s biomedical community.\n\n\n\n\nThis talk will highlight Greydon’s innovative work developing open-source software to help neurosurgeons plan and evaluate surgical procedures. The goal was to make these tools more practical\, accurate\, and easier to use in real clinical settings. By bringing together medical imaging\, brain signal data\, and software development\, this work aimed to translate complex research methods into real world tools that can directly support patient care. More broadly\, it shows the entrepreneurial opportunity to build surgical technologies that can improve precision and create new opportunities for innovation in healthcare. \nThis event is ideal for researchers\, clinicians\, and innovators interested in neurophysiology\, imaging\, biomedical engineering\, or translational neuroscience.

SUMMARY:WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub: A conversation with Kate Hilyard
DESCRIPTION:The WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub invites you to special seminar event with international speaker Dr Kate Hilyard. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Translating complexity – getting rid of the jargon that often puts barriers between us” \nThrough her career\, Kate Hilyard has been driven to make a difference to patient lives – from her early academic research in human biology and through her career leading organisations whose mission is to discover drugs. She has held multiple senior executive positions in pharma and biotech including Roche\, Cambridge Antibody Technology\, Charles River Laboratories and the AI biotech Healx. \nKate joined the UK Vaccine Task Force in July 2020 as an expert on Covid-19 vaccine immunogenicity testing and data\, and for over 3 years has advised government ministers and senior civil servants during the pandemic and the post-pandemic periods. \nKate’s two recent roles have had a major theme of translating complexity – in Healx. She helped enable the effective communication between techies and biologists\, and in the Vaccine Task Force explaining immunology and virology to civil servants and ministers who may not have done any science since they were 15 years old. \nTo achieve anything you have to find ways of overcoming the barrier of complexity\, which Kate will explore through a seminar followed by a fireside chat (Q&A encouraged) with WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub’s Director of Stakeholder Engagement Dr Tracey Wilkinson.

SUMMARY:An evening with Marc Koska OBE and Philip Leslie
DESCRIPTION:Join the WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub for an evening of conversation with Marc Koska OBE and Philip Leslie (ApiJect). \n\n\n\nJoin the WA Life Sciences Innovation Hub for an evening of conversation with Marc Koska OBE and Philip Leslie about developing innovative drug delivery devices for the global healthcare market and the ApiJect story. Refreshments and networking to follow. \nEvery year\, more than 1 million people are killed due to syringe reuse and unsafe injection practices in healthcare facilities. \nIn the 1980’s\, Marc’s innovative auto-disable syringe prevented the spread of disease and infection\, helping save more than 12 million lives. Marc is now co-founder and Head of R&D of ApiJect Systems\, a company developing an innovative new drug delivery platform with the potential to enable more liquid medicines and vaccines to safely reach more patients across the world. \nMarc is joined by ApiJect’s Senior Advisor\, Manufacturing Philip Leslie\, whose exceptional service of more than 30 years’ pharmaceutical manufacturing experience has seen him inducted into Victoria’s Manufacturing Hall of Fame in 2017. \nAgenda \n6:00pm Registration \n6:15pm Presentation \n6:30pm Fireside chat with Marc and Philip moderated by Tracey Wilkinson \n7:15pm Networking \n8:00pm Event close \nAbout ApiJect \nIn the mid-1980s\, Mr Marc Koska invented the revolutionary K-1 auto-disable syringe\, which prevented the spread of bloodborne diseases and infection by making the syringe impossible to reuse. It is believed his invention has helped to save more than 12 million lives. Watch his 2009 TED Talk here. \nIn 2005\, he founded the nonprofit SafePoint Trust to educate children in developing nations about the dangers of employing used needles. Among many other honors bestowed upon Marc\, he was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for his “contribution to global healthcare.” \nIn 2015\, Marc founded ApiJect Ltd and invented a breakthrough Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) injection device. The Prefilled ApiJect Injector is designed for simplicity: just prior to injection\, a fill-finished Blow-Fill-Seal container and intramuscular needle hub are push-twisted together by a healthcare professional. \nThis new drug delivery platform has the potential to enable more liquid medicines and vaccines to safely reach more patients across the world. \nToday\, ApiJect Systems is a medical technology company working to improve how sterile liquid medicines and vaccines are fill-finished across the world. \n  \nIf you have any questions\, contact Rebekah Crags at rebekah.craggs@mtpconnect.org.au
