Accessing the NHS

Yorkshire ’s NHS is not just a customer for your products; it can also be a source of new products and a collaborator for the development of new products.  With over 100,000 employees and 4 teaching hospitals (including 2 of Europe ’s largest in Leeds and Sheffield ) there is a substantial knowledge-rich base available for advice, collaborative R&D and clinical trials.  However, establishing the right links is time consuming and difficult for companies, particularly for SME’s with new products.  Medipex can help you to access the right people in the UK's healthcare market.

Connecting you with the NHS

Due to our unique links with Yorkshire’s NHS, Medipex aim to:

• help you accelerate the development of new/innovative products
• offer you opportunities to licence new products developed by NHS staff in response to an identified clinical need
• facilitate the establishment of collaborative R&D with appropriate clinical staff in the region
• provide assistance with setting up clinical trials
• identify sites for product evaluations
• offer guidance on NHS procurement policy and the barriers to uptake

By connecting you with the NHS, our aim is to help you to accelerate the uptake of innovative products in the region for the benefit of both patients and your business.  Medipex also has a wide range of business and academic contacts and through these we may also be able to identify other ways of helping your business.
