MedTech Educational Support<\/h1>\n\t\t

MedTech Europe is the European trade association representing the medical technology industries, from diagnosis to cure.

It represents Diagnostics and Medical Devices manufacturers operating in Europe.

At MedTech Europe all aspects of the MedTech industry's relationships with Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Healthcare Organisations (HCOs) are regulated by the MedTech Europe Code of Ethical Business Practice<\/strong>, which came into force on 1 January 2017.

This Code has undergone an important change, applied from January 2018: independent medical education has to be supported exclusively by funds through Educational Support.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Educational Grants<\/strong> supplied to support HCP participation \u2014 by covering or co-covering registration, travelling, and accommodation expenses to Third Party Organised Events such as SMILE Congress 2027<\/strong> \u2014 will be provided to Healthcare Organisations (HCOs) or Professional Congress Organisers (PCOs).<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

A dedicated platform will be created for interested HCPs' direct application in order to have the opportunity to receive one of the Educational Supports made available by the Sponsors of the SMILE Congress 2027.

Application process will be open soon.<\/strong>
