With point of care constantly at the forefront of the biotechnology and healthcare markets, the need for up to date information on both the emerging technologies, and the market opportunities is paramount. Rapid testing in all areas of healthcare, from primary care to the emergency services is becoming increasingly expected, and successful point of care technology can revolutionise our ability to create this fast, personalised medicine. Challenges still remain, however, about the logistics of companion diagnostics, the legitimacy of patient independence and the redistribution of profit within the healthcare technology sector.

The SMi Group are proud to present their 9th annual Point of Care Diagnostics: Economic Reimbursement and Technology Trends conference, scheduled for the 24th and 25th of October, 2012. This year’s conference will focus on the reimbursement of POC, implementation and development of POC technology and creating and maintaining unity and connectivity.
