Facilitating market entry for new services to the NHS

Historically, the NHS has by international comparators been regarded as a late adopter of new ideas, services and technologies. Many organisations with truly innovative and valuable ideas have struggled to gain a foothold in the NHS market.

Guy’s & St Thomas’s is interested in working with organisations who have innovative ideas to help them to accelerate their entry into the NHS market. Typically we can help such organisations by: 

• rapid assessment and evaluation of ideas 
• becoming the first customer, to create a market reference 
• working with the organisation to adapt and develop the service to better meet the ongoing needs of the NHS 
• provide ongoing advice and support

Typically we work with such organisations on the basis of sharing in the long-term commercial gain which we create by accelerating their market entry and increasing their chances of long-term success.

Current ideas under evaluation

A range of such ideas are under evaluation in areas including:

• pharmacy logistics 
• software 
• IT testing platforms 
• HR and training services
