Positioning your technology to meet the demands of the NHS plus meeting the clinical and patient needs is critical in giving the product the best opportunity of being adopted by healthcare organisations such as the NHS.
In this seminar we will explore the critical factors that the NHS needs a medtech product to address. Building this into the product development strategy at an early stage will help mitigate against any future dead-ends and produce a strong business case for procurement.
Clinical need
• why does it need improving, quantify issue / risk / inadequacies with current practice, evidence of interactions with clinical staff along the clinical pathway
• is it a new product, replacing an existing product
• why your product
Impact on NHS
• how does the product integrate into or disrupt the current clinical pathway – processes, resources, department budgets, training requirements
Health economics / cost effectiveness; upfront, annual
Supply chain
• who is going to supply it – a new company, through an established company with existing contracts with the NHS
• ethical supply chain requirements
Sustainability and carbon foot print
Compliance and data security
• QMS, regulatory accreditations, clinical performance evidenced in relevant clinical environment, cyber security
