Foreword from Johnson & Johnson

A
t Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices
(JJMD), we understand the pressure
hospitals and healthcare providers are
under to do more with less. For instance,
in the UK, treating a growing and ageing
population means that pressures on the
health service are greater than they have
ever been. According to the document
‘Next Steps on the NHS Five Year Forward
View’ 1 , the NHS will be taking further
action to ensure that they can deliver more
benefit for patients from every pound of
its budget, recognising that there are still
opportunities to do better.
Solving starts with listening. We believe
that by understanding the challenges our
customers are facing, it will allow us to co-
create tailored solutions that work for them.
This is why we are delighted to partner
with Hospital Healthcare Europe (HHE)
to support the delivery of this report,
which enables us to hear directly from the
people who are leading healthcare systems
across the Europe, Middle East and Africa
(EMEA) region. Their opinions matter to
us, and will help us shape our approach
to make sure we are adding value to our
customers – as their trusted partner.
