The Innovation Ecosystem report is out today. It recognises that innovation is key to meeting growing healthcare demands, and I’m proud to say I think our industry can help the NHS meet those demands and provide the innovations the report talks about. 20 percent of all private sector R&D in the UK occurs in life sciences firms, creating an estimated 50,000 new jobs in the sector in the 5 years to 2022. (From the report) So what’s holding us back? As the report says, there is a need to significantly increase the capacity, capability and skills of the NHS workforce to undertake innovation work. If we get this right, the opportunities are significant. The life sciences sector’s collaboration with the NHS offers a pathway for transformative healthcare. It is important for the NHS 10-Year Plan and the Innovation and Adoption Strategy to take the report’s recommendations forward to help the NHS genuinely lead healthcare innovation on a global scale. Congrats to Roland Sinker who led the work and the NHSE team for getting this out today. Read the report here https://lnkd.in/exxaedcT
