Gemma Bailey is the director of Bailey Instruments. She’s actually one of the youngest female directors in the medical industry in the UK. Bailey makes ethically-produced medical supplies and their speciality is diabetic tools – they make something called a monofilament which is a really important tool for figuring out if someone with diabetes is likely to need an amputation. Unfortunately, a lot of other companies make copycat versions of these that aren’t accurate – meaning people’s safety is being threatened.
