Healthcare and Bioscience Sector in the East Midlands
The healthcare and bioscience sector can be broadly defined as comprising:
- Biotechnology (use of biological processes, organisms, or systems to improve the quality of human, animal and plant life)
- Medical technology (the diagnostic or therapeutic application of science and technology to improve the management of health conditions)
- Pharmaceuticals (development and manufacture of drugs and medicines)
- Specialist supporting services (contract research, marketing, regulatory affairs, packaging, sterilisation, raw material manufacture, technical consultancy etc.).
All these are driven by the demand for improvements in health, predominantly through the NHS, retail pharmacy or exports.
