Are you using a clever workaround?

Having problems gaining investment in your idea?

Are you receiving the recogition and support your ideas deserve?

You may already be using a workaround that could be saving lives worldwide but simply do not have the time to develop your creative solution further. Or perhaps you already have that lifesaving idea but are unsure how to get the best investment for your idea. In addition, very often clinicians have great innovative ideas to help improve patient care but fail to get the recognition and support their ideas deserve. NHS Innovations London is here to help you.

• we will evaluate your idea to determine its potential to improve patient care
• we will fully project manage your idea providing you with peace of mind so you can get on with your daily clinical duties
• we can dedicate the time to developing your idea ensuring your idea is moved along as quickly as possible
• we will secure the Intellectual Property (IP) rights for your idea and work with you to help you find investment in your idea
• we will liaise with prototype companies, R&D partners and commercial companies to facilitate the development of your device, diagnostic, therapeutic or software idea
• on your behalf we can broker contracts between you and commercial companies so you secure the best investment for your idea
• we will prepare and package the idea ahead of investment meetings with top commercial companies
• we are a team of experts from industry with complementary skills in each area of development who will work to fast track your idea from concept to market.

We invite you to share your ideas with us. Your idea or workaround could be any one of the following types of unmet needs:

• Improvements to current products that make procedures less invasive
• Enhancements that can reduce procedure time or length of hospitalisation
• Products that have the potential to make older standard of care therapies obsolete
• Products to treat currently untreated patient populations
