Industry challenges
As the big quality, cost, innovation conundrum continues, the situation in the UK becomes more frustrating than ever. Despite innovation being the key to the industry’s growth and prosperity, the major issue remains one of funding and the problem of the purchaser’s focus on price rather than value for money. Thus, the key question on the tip of every manufacturer’s tongue is:

How do I successfully get my product into the NHS?

Trying to introduce your product into the UK market requires:
> Excellent navigation of the UK framework, including the multiple routes to entry
> Balancing the demands of government regulations with organisational and patient needs
> Containing production costs, in an effort to produce the most reliable and safest medical devices for your patients

In addition, it is essential to create a dialogue with key decision makers, voice your opinion and stay on top of changes that will impact the introduction of your innovation into the market.
