Data published by the BioIndustry Association (BIA) has revealed that most healthcare professionals are not aware of government-led initiatives, such as the Accelerated Access Review, aimed at improving innovation adoption across the NHS.
Talk the talk
“The UK has been great at talking the talk on driving innovation into the NHS but now is the time to walk the walk,” stated BIA CEO, Steve Bates OBE. “This data highlights what many of us in the life sciences sector have long suspected — that great policy is meaningless without effective implementation. The forthcoming response to the Accelerated Access Review is a great opportunity for government, hot on the heels of the Life Sciences Industrial Strategy and in the context of the UK leaving the EU, to set out its stall on how it will work to drive innovation into the heart of our healthcare system.”
