Developing NHS Innovation
The UK’s vision is to be world leading in improving the lives of local people, transforming care and boosting the economy through innovation.
The Covid-19 pandemic showed how a strong mission-driven industrial strategy, involving government partnering with industry and academia, could turn the tide on a pandemic.
As part of their life sciences plan, The Government will develop an NHS innovation and adoption strategy in England. This will include a plan for procurement, giving a clearer route to get products into the NHS coupled with reformed incentive structures to drive innovation and faster regulatory approval for new technology and medicines.
The proposals will strengthen the commitment contained in the NHS Long Term Plan to accelerate the uptake of selected innovative medical devices, diagnostics, and digital products.
The NHS is a large and complex system. Introducing new products and technologies can be daunting. Innovators must demonstrate the value of their healthcare product and navigate regulatory and procurement processes. For the NHS, finding new innovations that meet its needs can be equally difficult.
Developing NHS Innovation will bring together patient groups, government bodies, industry and NHS bodies, working together to streamline the adoption of new innovations in healthcare.
Delegates are invited share advice, inspire success and build new connections. All with the aim to develop and scale impactful health and social care innovations for patient benefit.
