Your technology has to work for all three. We build the evidence that proves it.
Whatever the innovation is, it needs to provide value, fulfil an unmet need for patients and clinicians and the system. It needs to be a win, win, win for all three — otherwise it's never going to work.
27 years of healthcare expenditure traced — from 6.9% to 11% of GDP. Where the money goes, who pays, and what the trends tell us.
27 February 2026New Alzheimer’s drugs rejected by NICE. Blood biomarker trials underway. A decade of evidence on the growing infrastructure gap.
8 March 2026Billions in public R&D investment stalls for want of £250k in proof-of-concept funding. The bottleneck is smaller than you think.
28 February 2026We work with tech transfer offices, MedTech companies, and investors. Our clients range from university spin-outs preparing for market entry to established companies building their UK health technology strategy.
Early economic modelling, value proposition development, NICE strategy, clinical pathway analysis, evidence gap assessment, and reimbursement business cases
Direct experience interviewing clinicians, commissioners, and procurement leads across NHS trusts and ICBs
Active relationships with university technology transfer offices and health innovation networks across the North of England
We maintain a depth of understanding across the UK health technology landscape that means we're never starting from scratch
We help MedTech companies build the evidence case for NHS adoption. That means market sizing, budget impact modelling, cost-effectiveness analysis, NICE submission strategy, and reimbursement business cases. For diagnostics, AI, digital health and medical devices entering the UK market, health economics evidence is essential for NICE evaluation, commissioner engagement, and investor confidence.
NICE evaluates medical devices and diagnostics through several routes including the Diagnostics Assessment Programme, Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme, and Health Technology Evaluation. Each requires clinical evidence and economic analysis. We advise on which route is appropriate, identify evidence gaps, and build the economic models and submission documents.
Market access strategy involves understanding NHS commissioning structures, building the economic case for adoption, navigating NICE and HTA requirements, and engaging with Integrated Care Boards and NHS trusts. It covers market sizing, competitive landscape analysis, pricing and reimbursement, and the evidence package NHS decision-makers need to adopt a new technology.
Total UK healthcare expenditure reached £317 billion in 2024. Medical goods — including diagnostics, devices and pharmaceuticals — account for approximately £34 billion. Spending is distributed across 42 Integrated Care Boards and hundreds of NHS trusts, with significant regional variation in adoption and expenditure. Read our full spending analysis →
Yes. We join grant applications as a named co-applicant, contributing the health economics sections, NHS needs narrative, and market context. We work across NIHR i4i, SBRI Healthcare, Innovate UK Biomedical Catalyst, and similar funding programmes for health technology innovation.
We work across diagnostics (in-vitro and point-of-care), medical devices, AI and software as a medical device (SaMD), digital health platforms, biosensors, and clinical decision support tools. Our expertise spans the full range of health technology entering the UK NHS market.
