21st Century medical technology affects all of us. Healthcare scientists, engineers, computer technicians, illustrators and mathematicians are all needed to design, develop and maintain equipment. British companies produce many of the innovations in equipment and techniques used around the world. Doctors and nurses need this support to be able to deliver the quality of care we all now expect. The use of technology opens up many career opportunities which would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago. Being aware of medical technology also helps to remove some of the 'fear factor' in emergencies.

This website supports the use of medical technology in schools and colleges. The curriculum activities help to inspire students by being interesting, practical and relevant.
