AXREM Welcomes 100th Member, Cementing Its Role as the Unified Voice of UK Diagnostic Imaging, Radiotherapy, and Digital Pathology
AXREM, the UK trade association representing the diagnostic imaging, radiotherapy, patient monitoring, digital pathology, and associated AI and IT sectors, is proud to announce a major milestone in its growth and development: the admission of its 100th member.
This landmark achievement confirms AXREM’s position as the only collective voice for these vital healthcare technologies in the UK, bringing together all the industry companies, innovators, and strategic partners under one collaborative umbrella.
Founded by OEMs to advocate for the imaging and radiotherapy sectors, AXREM has evolved into a dynamic, inclusive, and forward-thinking organisation. Over the past six years, under the visionary leadership of CEO Sally Edgington, AXREM has undergone a complete transformation. What began as a part-time, three-day-a-week role has grown into a full-time leadership position supported by a dedicated team of six, each committed to driving innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity across the healthcare technology landscape.
Sally Edgington, AXREM CEO Said of this milestone
“Our 100th member isn’t just a number, it’s a symbol of the trust, relevance, and impact AXREM has built across the sector, we’ve grown from 16 members in 2019 to 100 in 2025, and that growth reflects the strength of our partnerships, the clarity of our purpose, and the passion of our people.”
AXREM’s transformation has been marked by:
- A renewed focus on sustainability and ethical procurement
- Strategic engagement with NHS Supply Chain, NICE, and other key stakeholders
- Launch of AXREM Insights podcasts and thought leadership platforms
- Collaborative initiatives such as the Charity of the Year & Women’s Network
- Expansion into digital pathology, AI, patient monitoring ensuring future-ready representation
- Our government engagement strategy and strategic priorities 2025-27
- The numerous position papers and manifestos we have published
As AXREM continues to champion the industry, its commitment remains clear: to empower members, influence policy, and foster a culture of recognition, wellbeing, and shared success.
AXREM Chair, Huw Shurmer commented:
“Reaching our 100th member is more than a milestone, it’s a testament to the strength, relevance, and unity of our sector. AXREM has become the trusted voice for diagnostic imaging, radiotherapy, patient monitoring, digital pathology, and the transformative technologies shaping UK healthcare. This achievement reflects years of dedication, strategic growth, and the unwavering commitment of our members and leadership.”
“Under Sally Edgington’s exceptional stewardship, AXREM has evolved from a small, OEM founded association into a dynamic force for innovation, sustainability, and collaboration. Her vision and energy have not only expanded our reach but deepened our impact. As Chairman, I’m proud to stand alongside a team that continues to champion our industry, empower our members, and drive meaningful change across the healthcare landscape.”
