From imaging & diagnostics to digital health apps, wearables & surgical robotics, medtech is about solving complex real-world problems that directly affect patients’ lives. To do that well, the sector needs people who think differently. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a regulated, safety-critical industry.

This guide is for neurodivergent job seekers exploring medical technology careers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a medtech context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common medtech roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in medical technology – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.

Medical Technology Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the medical technology (MedTech) jobs market in the UK is changing fast. Hospitals and health systems are under pressure to do more with less. Diagnostics and devices are becoming smarter, more connected and more regulated. AI, robotics and remote monitoring are no longer “future tech” – they’re being built into mainstream care pathways. At the same time, budgets are tight, funding cycles are uneven and some healthtech start-ups are consolidating or being acquired. That means fewer vague “innovation” roles and more focus on medical technology jobs that directly support regulatory approval, patient safety, NHS adoption and commercial growth. Whether you are a MedTech job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building teams for medical device, diagnostics or digital health companies, this guide breaks down the key medical technology hiring trends for 2026.
