In partnership with Healthcare UK, this 3-part podcast series will showcase the best of British innovation in our UK NHS services in the run-up to IHF’s World Hospital Congress in Lisbon in October. The Healthcare UK team, part of the Department for Business and Trade, works jointly with the Department for Health and Social Care and NHS England to empower UK healthcare providers to do business overseas.

This second episode discusses pilot testing of innovations and how they are implemented and scaled-up in the NHS. The speakers also discussed how products are currently being tested, how their impact is measured and then adopted into the NHS. We’ll also cover what we can learn from failures in this process.

If you want to hear more, come and meet Healthcare UK at the World Health Congress, where they are running the symposium ‘Bridging the mental health care gap: lessons for hospital and healthcare leaders’ and the roundtable discussion ‘How innovations in early diagnostics and intervention solutions are being implemented into the NHS and improving the efficiency of cancer care in the UK’.
