Proximie founder and CEO Nadine Hachach-Haram is a practising NHS surgeon, lecturer and award-winning clinical entrepreneur. In developing Proximie, Nadine drew on her passions for innovation, education and, most significantly, improving access to safe surgical care worldwide to create a solution that CNN has dubbed the 'Future of Surgery'.
Nadine's vision for a digitally connected global surgical workforce that uses technology to improve access to surgery, scale surgical expertise and boost educational opportunities for the next generation of practitioners has won plaudits around the world. She was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in the late Queen's Birthday Honours, was selected to join the New York-based Endeavor entrepreneur programme, and sat on the Royal College of Surgeons' Commission on the Future of Surgery, joining some of the UK's leading doctors, engineers, data experts, healthcare leaders and patient representatives to set out likely trends in surgery over the next 20 years.
Nadine is a member of the faculty at Singularity, which offers executive-level business mentoring and consultancy, and a regular participant in Exponential Medicine, an annual event highlighting cutting-edge innovations shaping healthcare. She continues to work as a Consultant Plastic Surgeon alongside her role as Director of Clinical Innovation and Strategic Partnerships at GSTT, and is also Clinical Lead at KHP Ventures, a MedTech and digital start-up investment partnership between King's College London, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
