Insights

 

With this Insights section we provide you with the latest update on the progression of the BioMedical Design Fellowship Programme. Insights are written by BioMedical Design Fellows on a weekly basis and from time to time by the BioMedical Design staff when we feel we have some important messages to convey to our audience.

There is no ‘I’ in teamwork

My team counts three team members, all with different backgrounds and different ways of thinking, which I see as a big strength.

Just watch and do nothing – from the days of fieldwork

I’ve been a nurse for seven years and I take a bit of pride in being good at placing IVs and a bit more pride in being helpful towards my colleagues.

“It is a new model we want to see expand to all of the Nordics”

In this article in NOME Magazine, BioMedical Design is features as one of the initiatives funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation that builds on thoughts of cross-pollinating. It strengthens start-up projects when including entrepreneurial mindsets, research, healthcare professionals and business experts. A vision very much in focus throughout the BioMedical Design Programme.
