Janette Viney
@janetteviney
I've grown NHS and medical-device portfolios through strategic sales, tendering, and national account leadership.
What I'm looking for
I've built a long track record in UK medical sales, commercial management, and NHS account development across wound care, critical care, infection control, theatre products, and capital equipment.
At ConvaTec, I turned around a North East England wound-care territory that had missed target for six years, consistently exceeding quarterly targets while securing regional formulary inclusion for a new wound-care range. I also led NHS and commercial tendering, contracts, pricing, budgets, and resource planning across the North UK and Scotland.
Earlier, I grew Full Support Healthcare sales by £131,000 (70%), secured major hospital conversions at Pro-Care, and delivered national-account growth of £1.593 million at Hospital Management Supplies. I bring deep NHS purchasing knowledge, commercial negotiation, key-account leadership, and hands-on experience building relationships with clinicians, procurement teams, and decision-makers.
