NHS England; Not all is ‘doom & gloom’ in the NHS |
Four innovations that will be fast-tracked into use through NHS England’s Innovation & Technology Payment programme.
The scheme delivers improvements in patient care by cutting bureaucracy for clinicians & other innovators and encouraging uptake through the NHS. NHS England has also announced £1.5m to pump prime the spread of innovations including DrDoctor, a nationally backed trial of a technology to cut missed hospital appointments. Promising developments are sometimes not adopted because of a lack of evidence to support their use. The money found by NHS England will fund real world evaluation of innovations. |
