SmartCo Consulting had an insightful day at techUK this week, catching up with peers from across the digital health community. Here are our top three takeaways from the day: Public-Private Partnerships: techUK continues to excel in fostering collaboration between the NHS and the digital health marketplace, all aligned with a shared mission to improve services for patients and staff through digital transformation and technologies. The conversations helped shape meaningful ideas that move us all forward. Frontline Digitisation: Progress is good, but we are not done yet and eyes are moving firmly to optimisation and how to maximise the real value for the frontline from these digital investments. One Digital Estate: The future is exciting because of the continued focus on building the digital foundations to enable healthcare transformation. Central support on areas like moving to the cloud is welcomed and coming soon. And a cheeky 4th point 👀… convergence. Whether in purchasing, design, planning, the application layer (EPR included), processes, or infrastructure, convergence of digital platforms across local healthcare systems is gaining momentum. It is unavoidable and will help in so many ways, as we standardise and do more for less.   While George Jackson and Tom Frederick snapped the trusty 'speaker-on-stage' pics, we thought we'd change it up a bit. So, here's a picture of a very pretty cup ☕   #techUK #HealthcareTransformation #NHS #Innovation #PublicPrivatePartnership #Convergence #DigitalTransformation

🤝 ABHI Partners with Imperial to Present a Transformative Plan for HealthTech Growth 🚀 HealthTech holds immense promise, yet its full potential in the UK remains largely untapped. With strategic stimulus and support, our sector can drive significant economic growth while enhancing healthcare delivery across the NHS. Earlier this year, we were privileged to collaborate with Lord Sainsbury’s Gatsby Charitable Foundation on a transformative initiative. Partnering with Imperial College London, via their Centre for Sectoral Economic Performance at Imperial College London, we explored bold policies aimed at unlocking HealthTech as a key engine for UK economic expansion. This work culminated in the launch of a comprehensive report this week. The report highlights HealthTech’s £13bn Gross Value Added (GVA) in the UK, equating it to biopharma. However, capital and skills shortages, compounded by Brexit, are constraining growth. The report proposes targeted tax incentives, regulatory reforms, and closer collaboration with the NHS to accelerate innovation adoption. Key initiatives include: ⭐Streamlined regulatory processes ⭐Tax reforms to boost R&D ⭐Support for early-stage companies ⭐Expansion of ABHI’s international accelerator programme to drive exports. Together, these policies will enhance efficiency and innovation, bolster investment, and create 50,000 new skilled jobs over the next five years. Professor the Lord Darzi of Denham OM KBE PC FRS described the strategy as “a pragmatic and achievable route to building a HealthTech sector that will be the lifeblood of a reinvigorated NHS.” We look forward to working with senior government stakeholders to make this vision a reality. Read the full report here 👇 https://lnkd.in/ePpRzkAv With a huge thanks to all of the report authors Richard Devereaux Phillips, Peter Bannister, Andrew Davies, Daniel Green, Neil Mesher & James Moore.

Decision-makers in UK HealthTech face the ongoing challenge of reducing carbon emissions while maintaining high-quality care. 💡 Join us this Thursday, 26th September, for an exclusive webinar for ABHI members featuring Professor Matthew Taylor, Director of the York Health Economics Consortium (YHEC). He will explore the challenges and opportunities of incorporating #environmental #sustainability outcomes into healthcare decision-making. Professor Taylor will outline why measuring environmental outcomes is far more nuanced than it might first seem, and how direct, and indirect impacts, can be at odds with one another, sometimes leading to counterintuitive conclusions. He will also present his research on the public’s views around trade-offs that the health system might be required to make.

Yesterday's NHS waiting times figures demonstrate just how far there is still to go to clear the backlog. Our CEO & co-founder Jacob Haddad spoke to Times Radio about the urgent need for staff to be given tech that streamlines waiting lists and improves patient care. He said: "Today's figures demonstrate the critical need for a whole systems approach to healthcare, it's not just about minor tweaks; it's about fundamentally rethinking how care is delivered and ensuring the system is joined up." Jacob also emphasised the importance of leveraging communication platforms to reduce waiting lists and improve efficiency. "By contacting patients with simple questions, we've found that many can be removed from waiting lists because they no longer need treatment."
