S6 E6 AXREM Insights Christmas Special: A Year of Progress, People and Purpose

In this festive AXREM Insights Christmas Special, Melanie Johnson is joined by AXREM CEO Sally Edgington, Chair Huw Shurmer and Vice Chair Jeevan Gunaratnam to reflect on an extraordinary year for AXREM and the wider medtech community. Through a series of light-hearted “unofficial awards”, the panel looks back on standout moments from 2025, including milestone membership growth, the Million Steps Challenge, UKIO, the Women’s Network, and the growing influence of AXREM with government, the NHS and key stakeholders. It’s a celebratory conversation that captures the energy, community spirit and shared purpose that has defined the year.

Looking ahead to 2026, the discussion turns to the opportunities and challenges facing imaging and healthcare technology, from workforce pressures and AI adoption to capital investment, cybersecurity and equitable access to innovation. The episode closes with reflections on leadership, legacy and patient impact, alongside a festive quick-fire round and heartfelt messages of thanks to AXREM members and the wider medtech family. A warm, honest and uplifting end-of-year episode that celebrates people, progress and the difference medtech makes to patient care
