Women in MedTech: Careers, Innovation & Networking

Join us for an inspiring afternoon celebrating women in medical technology, hosted by the LUU MedTech Society and Women in Engineering Society.

This event will bring together students and professionals to explore the diverse and exciting opportunities within the MedTech sector. From developing innovative medical devices to improving patient care through engineering and research, MedTech sits at the intersection of healthcare, science and technology.

We’re delighted to welcome guest speakers who will share their career journeys, insights into the MedTech industry, and advice for students interested in pursuing careers in healthcare innovation.

Confirmed speakers include:

• Representatives from DePuy Synthes – previously the Orthopaedics company of J&J
Speaking about female orthopaedic surgeons and the development of tailored surgical instruments.

• Dr Virginia Pensabene – University of Leeds
Biomedical engineering researcher working on technologies for women’s health and reproductive medicine.

Following the talks, we’ll host an informal coffee and networking session, giving you the chance to connect with speakers and fellow students, ask questions, and learn more about pathways into MedTech.

While this event celebrates and amplifies women’s voices in MedTech, everyone is welcome – whether you're curious about careers in the field, interested in healthcare innovation, or simply want to meet like-minded students.

We hope to see you there!
