West Yorkshire Cancer Alliance horizon scan
We have a long-standing and productive relationship with the West Yorkshire Cancer Alliance including supporting and attending their board meetings , working in partnership on innovation funding projects and providing informal support for strategic and innovation planning . As part of these activities , we were approached to provide a horizon scan on clinical decision support tools . Following review and discussion the horizon scan was shared more widely within the Cancer Alliance and was used to drive discussion on a potential procurement of such a tool .
As part of the process the Cancer Alliance selected a small cohort of companies who appeared on the horizon scan . We went on to collaborate on the production of a showcase event where clinical , operational and management teams could attend to better understand the solutions and help to inform the requirements for the various teams .
“
Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber worked closely with us to shortlist the most appropriate companies , culminating in an event where the companies showcased their services . This event proved very enlightening and informative , helping us to gather valuable information to use in the future .”
