Supporting innovators to drive economic growth and improve health outcomes
The 545 HealthTech firms we supported over the last year have reported that we contributed to them securing £ 28.6m of investment, the creation of 25 jobs and the safeguarding of a further 32 jobs.
Support for innovators
We engage with hundreds of companies each year. Our bespoke support to innovators includes evidence generation, market access, adoption strategy, evaluation and access to finance.
Over the last 12 months, we have provided over 7,000 hours of support to companies. The first point of contact for most of these innovators is through our Innovation Surgeries, which enable us to ensure that innovators are provided with rounded support from colleagues across the organisation, as well as in partner NHS organisations where required.
Through our established company triage and engagement process, we meet with innovators to assess their innovation, understand its current stage of development and where it may fit within an NHS pathway. We provide advice, signposting and assistance with developing an understanding of the health and care system.
