Addressing public health challenges through manufacturing
A lasting impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic is that maintaining and improving public health is an increasingly important national priority. We help healthcare companies to bring effective new products to market and apply that insight in other sectors, supporting our collective health.
Shaping a healthier society
Vaccines and therapeutic innovation
Reliable and timely therapeutic treatment is crucial to preventing or treating new diseases and viruses. We help to accelerate vaccine and pharmaceutical innovation, getting effective treatments to market faster.
New medical devices
New medical devices open innovative avenues for therapeutic treatment. We support the development and production of new medical technologies, supporting manufacturers in navigating regulation to help those in need.
Technologies supporting health gains
It’s not only medical devices that can improve public health. We use our cross-industry expertise to identify solutions in preventing disease transmission for areas like transport, where anti-microbial materials can have a real impact.
Getting expertise to the right place
In medical situations, quick transmission of expert knowledge can hugely benefit outcomes. We use our experience with virtual and augmented reality in manufacturing to help develop innovative new treatment and training pathways for medical professionals.
