Dr Neville Young, director of enterprise and innovation at Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network (AHSN), explains why innovation is vital to the future of the NHS, how the AHSN Network is working with NHS organisations and industry innovators to develop and spread new solutions, and how being at Medica 2019 with the ABHI will help drive these objectives forwards.
Innovation doesn’t just happen in the NHS, it’s part of a long (often too long) process, and gaining access to the NHS and social care market can be a difficult and daunting prospect for businesses.
In January 2019, NHS England published its Long Term Plan, which sets out how the NHS can respond to advances in medicine and changes in health and society needs so that in 10 years’ time we have a service fit for the future.
This has a clear emphasis on research and innovation for patient benefit and highlights investment in the latest technology, digital health and cutting-edge treatments. Coupled with early detection and a renewed focus on prevention, the plan aims to stop an estimated 85,000 premature deaths every year.
