I used to think that everything that could be invented has been invented, and that some problems are too big for a single motivated individual to solve. The Clinical Entrepreneur Programme has not only given me the tools to pitch and critically evaluate my ideas, but it has also given me a practical road map from ideation to widespread adoption. My career will be one spent relentlessly trying to improve healthcare and I have the Clinical Entrepreneur Programme to thank for this.
