About Edwards Lifesciences Limited

Edwards Lifesciences are the global leader in the science of heart valves and hemodynamic monitoring. Driven by a passion to help patients, the company partners with clinicians to develop innovative technologies in the areas of structural heart disease and critical care monitoring.

With roots dating back to 1958, the company has five core values: be a trusted partner; thrive on discovery; strengthen our community; celebrate our success; and act boldly and decisively with passion and courage to do what is right.

Staff’s individual learning and development needs are extracted from individual development plans and are collated annually. From this, a regional development calendar is put together based on professional and personal development requirements.

The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Nick Walker, who operates an open-door policy and is generally available to answer questions and provide support to any level of employee.
