About this event

The first of a two-part workshop on building the evidence the NHS actually buys on, rather than guessing at it. Part two follows on 20 January 2027. This day is about the problem rather than the study design. Short talks and discussion work through how patients, clinicians, NHS payers and investors each define an unmet need differently, and participants apply those four lenses to their own technology. The rest covers what is already known in your area, which study your project needs at its current stage, and how to show the NHS the problem is worth paying to solve. No economic modelling background is assumed. Led by Dr Alexander Thompson and Dr Matthew Parkes. At the Core Technology Facility on Grafton Street. 100 pounds covers both workshops, lunch included. Why go: the gap between a working healthtech product and an NHS purchase order is an evidence gap, and almost nobody runs a workshop on it. Best for founders and clinical leads heading towards procurement.
