NHS Innovations: Solutions to a global challenge
Healthcare has been undergoing huge challenges. But as we can see outlined in this report, there are also enormous opportunities too.
What Makes a World Class Service in Healthcare Innovation?
How can NHS Innovations help?
NHS innovation responds to the relentless growth in healthcare demand, patient expectations and ground-breaking research. It creates patient and staff satisfaction by using the most advanced methods of diagnosis and treatment to create excellent and sustainable clinical services. The UK's leading NHS hospitals want to work with overseas healthcare partners sharing ideas and solutions, bringing nearly 75 years' experience of innovation using research based clinical pathways, the most advanced science and excellent training, equipment and digital systems. Excellent clinical services are good for patients, staff and the organisation.
Why have Excellent Clinical Services?
Excellent services create better clinical outcomes, patent and staff satisfaction, value for money, strong reputation and spreadable service models.
What is the UK's model for World Leading Services?
As well as using the most up to date and accessible diagnostics and treatment, the NHS finds and engages with patients in need and maintains close contact in monitoring their health after treatment.
Cancer Services: Solutions to a global challenge
A worldwide problem, and as we can see outlined in this report, there are also enormous opportunities too.
The UK has some of the most advanced and largest cancer services in the world!
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with an estimated 23.6 million new cancer cases in 2021 and almost 10 million individuals dying from cancer-related causes.
Meanwhile, cancer care is being driven by a revolution in technology in digital health, robotics, precision medicine and the internet of things.
Faced with rising demand, spiralling costs, gaps in workforce and increased public expectations, the NHS has developed a system that encourages cutting edge research and imaginative solutions to translate into real patient care.
This has led to more accurate diagnostics and monitoring, new surgical and pharmaceutical treatments and new ways of identifying cancer patients outside hospital.
