Just a breif note on a new Yorkshire Forward initiative, Access to Finance for Healthcare.

It is a programme designed to assist healthcare technology companies prepare for and go out on fund raising programmes, right up to being introduced to investors.

The programme is being run by Grant Thornton in Leeds and is on the back of a successful programme that was run by Grant Thornton in London called Gateway to Finance. Access to the programme is via application http://www.investinginhealth.co.uk/ , it gives guidance and mentoring for the individuals running the companies / project seeking finance and helps with market assessments and business planning. it also introduces these companies / projects to investors.

It looks like a great programme and I will be introducing a number of the companies that I work with to the programme.

As consultants working in the area of drug development, regulatory strategy and development strategy we are often involved in these kinds of document development processes and good housekeeping is vital. eCTD is coming to us all so its best we get up to speed as early as possible.
