Support to innovators

Do you need support on your innovation journey?

We help innovators to identify where they are on the pathway to taking their product to market.

Assess your progress and receive detailed information and advice

We have developed an Innovation Pathway Tool for healthcare innovators that provides comprehensive assessment and guidance on:

  • Research
  • Ideation and Concept Development
  • Feasibility, Planning and Market Investigation
  • Prototype and Proof of Concept
  • Development through to Launch
  • Adoption and Spread

Speak to a member of our team

Our innovation advice surgeries for organisations developing healthcare solutions take place on Microsoft Teams, and involve a 45-minute discussion with one or several members of our team. The sessions are intended to provide you with feedback and advice on your innovation, including how to make your product viable for the NHS.
