Driving Innovation, Supporting Care
AXREM members supply the vast majority of diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy systems installed in UK hospitals. Their technologies are used daily by Radiologists, Radiographers, Oncologists, and healthcare professionals to deliver life-changing care. Working side by side with clinical teams, our members bring deep insight into real-world workflows and challenges enabling the development of smarter, faster, and more effective solutions that improve patient outcomes.
Championing Collaboration and Standards
While our members operate in a competitive and regulated environment, many challenges require a unified, sector-wide approach. AXREM provides that collective voice advocating for the industry, shaping policy, and supporting the adoption of new technologies that meet the evolving needs of UK healthcare.
We actively engage with:
- Department of Health & Social Care and government bodies on regulatory and strategic issues
- NHS organisations to support fair and sustainable trading terms
- Technical standards committees to ensure equipment safety and interoperability
- Professional bodies such as the British Institute of Radiology, Royal College of Radiologists, and Society & College of Radiographers
- Radiology & Oncology Conference Board, helping to shape leading scientific and technical events
Our Heritage and Vision
Originally founded as the Association of X-ray Equipment Manufacturers, AXREM has evolved in step with the technologies we represent. Today, our strapline reflects our mission:
Bringing the MedTech Industry Together with One Voice for All
We are proud to be recognised as the authoritative voice of our sector, and we remain committed to fostering innovation, supporting evaluation, and accelerating the adoption of new technologies that improve healthcare across the UK.
