Prof. Ron Summers: The Entrepreneurial Bioengineer
Abstract
The 21st Century is widely anticipated to be the age of the biologist, just as in the previous Century the precedence went to physics. Thus Bioengineers are perhaps uniquely positioned to take advantage of opportunity-driven research fuelled by curiosity and technical change and enabled by prowess in enterprise and entrepreneurship. Evidence for Bioengineers to acquire business skills can be gained from the emphasis funding bodies put on the application end of the research pipeline and the need to consider impact and value in their summative reports. Equally, translation of research findings from the bench to the bedside is a clincal driver that has recognition from the IEEE-EMBS, with a new Journal offering in that area. In his address Ron will put flesh on these points and more, drawing from his own experience of creating small companies to do purposeful things.

Invited Speaker: Prof. Azzam Taktak
Prof. Azzam Taktak: Clinical Biomedical Engineers in the NHS
Abstract
Clinical Biomedical Engineers have an important role to play in research and development by bringing new and emerging technologies into clinical use and managing the deployment and safe use of healthcare technology. As well as having engineering training and skills, they work with patients and with a range of professional staff, including technicians and clinicians and with equipment manufacturers. They have to keep up to date with fast-moving scientific and medical research in the field and develop their own laboratory, design, management and leadership skills.
In this talk he will be giving an overview of what it is like to be a Clinical Biomedical Engineer in the NHS. Prof. Taktak will talk about the importance of striking a balance between clinical, research and development, teaching and training and management and leadership duties in day-to-day activities. He will outline some of the highlights in my career so far as well as key events and influential people who have helped shape his thinking and approach.
