Features

The EBME Expo has been operating for 15 years and has also presented itself as the UK’s largest gathering of clinical engineers, EBME managers and support staff. Although, since 2019 the exhibition has also welcomed large numbers of healthcare procurement officials, operating theatre managers and ODP’s which means that the event now caters for the full life cycle of medical equipment users. From purchasing to installation, setting up for use to maintenance, to eventually replacement.
