Realise the potential of your ideas

Whether you’re a healthtech company practised at developing health innovation, or a clinician in the NHS who has discovered newfound best practice, we can champion you to:

  • Get funding, introductions and advice
  • Navigate the nuances of the health and care system
  • Take your idea through a proven innovation pipeline
  • Build a base of evidence that can win over stakeholders

From conception to mass adoption, we’re here to support you

For early-stage innovations

If you’re at the beginning of your innovation journey, we can give you guidance on any gaps in your value proposition or evidence base, and help you to create a proof-of-concept prototype.

Most importantly, we’re here to offer advice on the complexities of the health and care sector, and guide you on how your innovations can best weave in to improve them.

For advanced, pre-commercial stage innovations

When you’re fast approaching the stage of releasing your innovation out into the world, we can help with developing your value proposition, impact modelling, health economics and brokering connections with health and care experts.

When you’re ready to go to market, we’ll be here to support with real-world evaluations, roll-out and adoption.
