It is this in-kind support that is invaluable to us and the experience and skills from Siemens have brought huge benefits to the organisation.”

core values of the Institute which complement our ambitions to improve healthcare through innovation. It is a pleasure and privilege to work together with the multi-disciplinary membership of the BIR to offer our clinical, scientific and commercial expertise to support the organisation.”
