Representing the voice of industry leaders, techUK responded to the NHS England and NICE's consultation on a new integrated, rules-based medical technology pathway. This project could significantly influence the future of healthcare innovation in the UK. Here are the key perspectives.
techUK Response - NHSE & NICE Medtech Consultation
While techUK broadly supports the initiative to streamline innovation into a unified pathway; members’ discussions emphasised the importance of a balanced approach that fosters innovation without overwhelming existing resources. This means addressing the broader systemic factors like connectivity and procurement, while balancing NICE’s capacity to handle the potential increase in demand.
techUK’s response identifies several crucial areas for consideration:
techUK welcomes the initiative and further advocates for a collaborative approach, urging NHS England and NICE to work closely with industry stakeholders to foster an environment where innovation can thrive.
