SUMMARY:Why Great Health Technologies Never Reach Patients
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, remarkable health technologies are developed. \n✅ Many are backed by outstanding science.\n✅ Many secure investment.\n✅ Many demonstrate promising clinical results. \nYet only a small number become part of everyday patient care. \nWhy? \nIf you’ve ever wondered why adoption takes years\, why promising innovations lose momentum\, or why organisations with good intentions still struggle to create lasting change\, this conversation is for you. \nJoin me for a live episode of Signal Before Scale Conversations with Vee Mapunde\, Co-Director of the NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in Accelerated Surgical Care. \nTogether\, we’ll explore the patterns Vee has observed from working across researchers\, clinicians\, innovators\, industry and the NHS. Rather than focusing on one technology or one organisation\, we’ll examine what repeatedly separates innovations that gain traction from those that quietly stall. \nWe’ll explore questions including: \n• Why do so many great healthcare innovations never become routine patient care? \n• What signals suggest an innovation is on the path to successful adoption? \n• What do founders\, researchers\, clinicians and NHS organisations consistently misunderstand about one another? \n• What leadership behaviours build confidence across the innovation ecosystem? \n• What conversations need to happen much earlier if we want innovation to reach patients faster? \nThis isn’t a discussion about grants or procurement alone. It’s a conversation about the human\, organisational and leadership challenges that determine whether innovation creates real impact. \nWhether you’re a founder\, CEO\, Chair\, investor\, clinician\, researcher or NHS leader\, you’ll leave with a different perspective on what it really takes to move from innovation to adoption. \nI hope you’ll join us live\, bring your questions\, and be part of the conversation.

SUMMARY:Accelerating Sustainable Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid HealthTech sustainability forum on Thursday 24 September 2026 at St George’s Centre\, Leeds. \n\n\n\n\nSustainability is now a commercial imperative for HealthTech companies. \nThe NHS has committed to achieving net zero for its direct emissions by 2040 and indirect emissions by 2045. These targets extend across the healthcare supply chain and are increasingly shaping procurement decisions. Under the NHS Net Zero Supplier Roadmap\, suppliers must demonstrate measurable environmental impact and embed sustainable practices across product development\, manufacture and delivery. \nThis event brings together the organisations shaping the NHS sustainability agenda\, including consultant surgeons and sustainability leaders from the Royal College of Surgeons\, major NHS Foundation Trusts\, the Circular Economy Healthcare Alliance\, ABHI\, Philips Health Systems and Pd-m. \nDesigned for HealthTech innovators\, the forum will provide practical insight into NHS sustainability requirements\, procurement priorities and emerging opportunities. Delegates will gain a clearer understanding of the NHS supply chain\, the Department of Health and Social Care’s Design for Life programme\, and approaches to building sustainability into products\, services and operations. \nThrough expert-led discussions\, case studies and showcase sessions\, delegates will explore real-world examples of sustainable innovation\, behavioural change and environmental improvement. The event will also provide opportunities to share challenges\, exchange learning and build new collaborations. \nThe HRC Network and Pd-m will showcase projects from the Net Zero Catalyst programme\, highlighting how innovators are addressing sustainability challenges while strengthening commercial viability. \nThis event is delivered by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) HealthTech Research Centre Network and the HealthTech Research Centre in Accelerated Surgical Care\, with support from the HealthTech Research Centre in Sustainable Innovation\, and in partnership with the SUSTAIN Lab at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. \nTo learn more about how the HRC Network supports sustainable healthcare innovation from concept to adoption\, explore the HRC Network Net Zero Catalyst programme.
