NUA SURGICAL

We continue to be inspired by our trailblazing Board Chair Dr Elizabeth Garner who is relentless to promote, advance and advocate for women's health improvements. In the coming days Dr Garner will participate on the Galien Women's Health Panel at the world-renowned 2024 Galien Forum (The Galien Foundation) which will bring together top leaders to explore critical advancements and challenges in women's health, particularly focusing on generational health. Some recent activities also include: - being part of the planning committee for the workshop "The Intersection of Regenerative Medicine and Women’s Health" at the The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. - attending the workshop at The White House focused on the progress in advancing #womenshealth research and the health of women. - moderating panel discussions at the "Women's Health Day" event sponsored by Ardelis Health and Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC. Keep it up Beth!

Last night, our CEO Barry Mc Cann shared the stage with two of Ireland's top Medtech talents in Judi O' Malley of Spiorad Medical Limited and Deborah Toner of Veryan Medical as part of the 2024 #MedTechBrew in Galway. Ibec's Ciara Finlay chaired the session which was themed 'Choosing A Market To Launch', and each of the panellists shared their respective paths of identifying, engaging and penetrating their target markets. Each year, MedTech Brew is co-hosted by Irish Medtech and BioInnovate Ireland and, with a full capacity crowd, it continues to be an attractive networking and social event on the MedTech calendar for industry experts, investors, BioInnovate Fellows and alumni. Last night's event took place alongside the #GlobalAccess Conference which is Ireland’s largest and most comprehensive medical technology industry QA/RA conference. Congratulations to Ciara Finlay, Sinead Walsh, Emer Sherry for another great event and thank you for involving NUA!

Last Saturday, NUA SURGICAL were privileged to support a local girls sports team honour the memory of their beloved team mate.   On 5th October 2024, the inaugural Ciara Bowden Memorial Tournament took place in Moycullen, Co Galway. Hosted by the Maigh Cuilinn U14 LGFA coaches and management, the memorial blitz was to commemorate a truly loved and missed teammate. Ciara’s mum Úna and younger sister Saoirse were also remembered on the day. The three members of the Bowden family tragically passed away in a car accident earlier this year, leaving a community in shock and in mourning.   As a special mark of remembrance, the Maigh Cuilinn u14 team were presented with memorial kit comprising a bespoke crest with a tribute to Ciara & Saoirse Bowden. The kit was sponsored by local companies who have an affiliation with the club; NUA SURGICAL, CompanionQMS and Xeinadin Ireland.  Our CEO, Barry Mc Cann is a member of the u14 coaching team and reflects on the company's involvement; "at such a young age, these girls have experienced extreme tragedy within their community and within their circle of friends. Being able to provide them with some kit to keep the memory of their friend alive was a tiny gesture that we were privileged to do".

Last week, our CEO Barry Mc Cann had the pleasure of presenting our journey to a group of US MBA students visiting Ireland. The 32 person group represent various business units across the UnitedHealth Group and are participating on the company’s Healthcare MBA Cohort 7 – Class of 2025. It was an engaging afternoon and we look forward to strengthening this relationship with these remarkable healthcare leaders. Thank you to Emmeline Fernandez, PhD of WorldStrides Higher Ed Custom Programs for initiating the meeting.

Our CEO Barry Mc Cann will be joining Ibec's Ciara Finlay and other panelists to discuss Market Entry Strategies as part of the #GlobalAccess conference in Galway later this month.
