Our team has extensive experience in supporting industry innovators, in particular start-ups and SMEs, to develop their business ideas, navigate the NHS landscape, identify new partners, secure funding and showcase their solutions.

Watch our short video above to find out how we worked with local GP, Dr Nick Gompertz who developed EarSwitch to help people with motor neurone disease communicate, but had no idea how to get his innovation into the NHS.

If you’ve got an idea or a product that you believe is a game changer for health and care, we’d love to hear from you. Firstly, you’ll find a wealth of invaluable resources here on our Innovation Exchange, so do please explore.

And if you would like to find out how we might be able to provide you with more bespoke support, the first step is to complete our online innovation form.
