A really interesting day yesterday at the Life Science Access Academy conference on Optimising Engagement with the NHS. It was great to hear so many different perspectives. A few key takeaways for me: - It is key we commit to fully understanding the needs, priorities and challenges being faced in the NHS. This is applicable at a national level as well as on a more regional/ICB level - We need to ensure we are identifying and connecting with the right stakeholders at the right time - the complex ‘multi-player’ system makes this challenging but there are opportunities for collaboration at all levels of the system - It is more important than ever to focus our value propositions and interactions with stakeholders on how a product can address the ‘real problems’ (such as relieving workforce pressures and improving health inequalities) - Linked to the above, we should be considering clinical pathways in their entirety when thinking about the value a new medicine/device may bring #lifescienceaccessacademy #LSAA #ukmarketaccess

Conference | 🙌 Earlier this week, our team attended The Research and Development Forum. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with professionals, researchers, and experts from across the clinical research sector.     Here are some highlights from the conference:  💬  𝗢𝗻-𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: The Department of Health and Social Care's announcement of the new NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) Research Delivery Network (RDN) has sparked significant discussion. This pivotal development is expected to strengthen the country's esteemed research infrastructure, facilitating the delivery of high-quality research to enhance patient and public care.

It was inspiring to see enthusiasm for our solutions beyond the conference’s primary focus of clinical trial management. If you were at the RDF conference we’d love to read your thoughts and insights in the comments below. We’re also thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our case study with NHS Research Scotland, focusing on ReDA, our Clinical Trial Management System. Find out how NRS uses ReDA to: 👉 Streamline clinical trial delivery  👉 Position Scotland as a leading nation for clinical trials   👉 Save 36 days a month across its 12 Scottish Health Boards     Keep an eye out for updates 👀 Raja Prasanna | Steven Dowse | Jeremy Ian R. #Infonetica #RDF2024 #RDForum #ClinicalTrialManagementSystem #CTMS #ClinicalResearch #Conference #ClinicalResearchManagement #HealthcareResearch #UKHealthcare       

Continuing my exploration of the value proposition in MSK care—defined as cost divided by outcomes. This week, I’m diving into the MSK market's barriers and facilitators of outcome measures. Key focus areas include viable solutions for the clinical community to embrace and enforce outcome tracking, ensuring the validation and objectification of clinical services. One strategy gaining traction is knowledge translation, which aims to make PROM measures accessible and actionable at every level of care. By aligning clinical efforts with measurable outcomes, we can strengthen the foundation of evidence-based MSK services. The clinical community must work to bridge the gap between what’s known and what’s practiced! 💡 #MSKCare #ValueBasedCare #PROMs #OutcomeMeasures #KnowledgeTranslation

🌍 What does it take to successfully run clinical trials in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs)? Inspired by the ICTMC held in Edinburgh from September 30 to October 3, I had the opportunity to learn about running clinical trials in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Here are my key takeaways: 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆: Utilising geographical data enhances site selection and participant enrolment strategies, ensuring trials effectively reach the right populations. 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀: Understanding the local context through firsthand visits allows for tailored support and effective capacity building at trial sites. 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗕: Developing contingency plans for unpredictable events is crucial. Leveraging past experiences can significantly enhance operational resilience. 𝗧𝘄𝗼-𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴: Engaging with local stakeholders and actively listening to their insights fosters collaboration and ensures trials align with the community's best interests. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Identifying potential risks early and formulating mitigation strategies helps navigate the unique challenges that LMICs present. (This is required always, isn't it?) Are you running clinical trials in Low and Middle-Income Countries? What are your insights?💡 #clinicalresearch #ICTMC24 #health

Let us make a date tomorrow to assess the importance of soft skills and the need for it to complement the technical skills we have in our fields of expertise! I will be there.

If you’re at Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) IncluDE Summit this week, reach out to Dr. Rasha Babikir, MBBS, MBA or stop by one of her sessions to learn more about CHR! #clinicalresearch #diversity #equality #inclusion

We're pleased to announce that getUBetter has secured NIHR i4i research funding to provide real-world evidence for national adoption. READ FULL PRESS RELEASE: https://lnkd.in/dtpT2SRW The NIHR i4i research funding will further support getUBetter in evaluating the impact of the service on patients, clinicians, and the health system, as well as looking at the cost-effectiveness of integrating digital self-management support for non-specific low #BackPain into ICS #MSK clinical pathways.  We're looking forward to continue collaborating with University of the West of England, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB and other partners to provide real-world evidence to support national adoption.

Today, head of NTH Innovation Team Jonathan Rowley, met with Jenny Wood, Quality Improvement Facilitator at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, to update on current projects from both an innovation and QI perspective, and discuss how our teams can work more closely to share knowledge, generate more ideas and drive these forward. 🤝 Innovation teams are often responsible for generating new ideas and concepts, while quality improvement teams focus on identifying and addressing existing challenges. By collaborating on idea generation and evaluation processes, both teams can contribute their insights and expertise to ensure that innovative solutions also meet quality standards and address relevant issues to ultimately improve patient care. 💕 NTH Solutions #innovation #healthcareinnovation #collaboration #qualityimprovement #innovationandimprovement

Join us on July 11, 4 to 5 p.m. ET, for a webinar on “Highlighting and Promoting the Value of Practice-based Research Networks.” Presenters from a variety of Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs) will share examples from their own experience on ways that PBRNs contribute to improving the delivery of #PrimaryCare. This is the second webinar in the PBRN Learning Series, sponsored by AHRQ’s National Center for Excellence in Primary Care Research, which highlights the work of a variety of PBRNs and includes information on managing and growing PBRNs, building new PBRNs, and demonstrating the value and impact of their work. https://bit.ly/4cDnzrc
