work. A key focus has been tackling some of the most pressing health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease( CVD). We have worked with the West Yorkshire ICB to secure £ 200,000 of private sector funding to build on our award-winning Healthy Hearts programme. The new initiative is designed to enhance the detection and management of cholesterol and atrial fibrillation. This funding has also enabled the implementation of two pioneering innovations – MyDiagnostick and PocDoc – further strengthening our commitment to improving health outcomes through targeted interventions. See page 51 for more details.

Nexus works closely with the Innovation Hub to support our members, maximising the work they are doing, and the impact their research and technologies can have in the region. The access to the Innovation Hub team is invaluable, allowing us to recognise areas of need in the system, and work to identify and support technologies that align with these challenges.”
