The current NHS set-up and clinical evaluation systems are not keeping up with technical advances, UK/EU legal requirements and patient demand. TriTech’s multi-disciplinary team develop, test and re-test innovations from within the NHS. We give immediate clinical and scientific opinions on feasibility and safety, consider what is needed to prove efficacy (patient outcomes) and value. We support companies to grow whilst improving patient care through:

•A single point of access to the NHS for med-tech designers and manufacturers
•Early technical feasibility providing regulatory advice and route to market planning
•Real-world evaluations of newly licensed medical technologies
•Introducing, testing and retesting more established products into real clinical ecosystems
•Advice and planning for scale-up and what is needed for wider and faster adoption.
