SUMMARY:Introduction to NICE healthtech evaluation
DESCRIPTION:About this event  \nNICE is transforming its approach to healthtech assessment\, but what does this mean for your product? With around 2 million healthtech products registered for UK use\, standing out from the competition is vital. \nThis online seminar is designed for healthtech developers and market access specialists who want to understand how to successfully navigate NICE’s new healthtech assessment process and maximise their product’s potential for positive evaluation. \n  \nWhat you’ll gain   \nGet your evidence and strategy right first time with accurate\, actionable advice direct from NICE. As the NHS in England’s health technology assessment body\, NICE is uniquely placed to help you demonstrate your product’s value effectively. \nWhether you’re uncertain about eligibility\, the assessment process\, or how best to engage with NICE\, this session will provide clarity and equip you for effective collaboration. \n  \nWhat we’ll cover  \nBased on NICE’s updated healthtech programme manual published earlier this year\, you’ll gain clarity on the key areas that matter most to your product’s success: \n\nUnderstanding selection criteria – learn what factors influence whether your healthtech product will be prioritised for NICE assessment.\nThe lifecycle approach – explore how NICE’s recommendations adapt for technologies at different stages of NHS adoption\, from early innovation to established use.\nStrengthening your evidence base – discover practical ways to improve the usability and impact of your real-world evidence.\nEffective stakeholder engagement – understand how to contribute meaningfully to the assessment process and make the most of engagement opportunities.\nIncorporating patient perspectives – learn how people with lived experience contribute to guidance development and how their voices shape recommendations.\n\nOur aim is to drive innovation into the hands of health and care professionals to enable best practice.

SUMMARY:NIHR Open Research publishing options webinar
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to find out more about your publishing options with NIHR Open Research? \nThis session will introduce the open publishing and peer review model used by NIHR Open Research\, including advice for first-time authors and NIHR grantees.  \nNIHR Open Research provides all NIHR-funded researchers with a place to publish any results they think are worth sharing. Submissions to NIHR OR are subject to editorial checks that ensure the robustness\, quality\, and transparency of the underlying research. Following these checks\, articles are published Open Access before peer review\, so that they can be viewed and cited as quickly as possible. Expert reviewers are then selected and invited\, and their reports and names are published alongside the article\, post-publication. \nThis webinar will include a presentation on the publication requirements for NIHR Open Research\, and the submission\, revision\, and post-publication open peer review workflows. We will provide advice for authors on how to ensure that submissions meet the requirements for open publishing\, and how to engage with the revision and peer review process that follows – and you will also have the opportunity to hear from a NIHR grantee and NIHR Open Research author about their experience of using the platform to publish their research. There will be a Q&A and the session will be recorded for registrants who are unable to attend live. \n\nRegister to attend the NIHR Open Research webinar\, taking place at 11am\, 25 September. \nAll registrants will receive a recording of the webinar afterwards.

SUMMARY:From hospital to community – partnering to transform respiratory Point-of-Care Testing
DESCRIPTION:Respiratory infections are a major contributor to winter pressures in healthcare\, particularly within secondary where they drive increases in emergency attendance\, admissions and hospital bed occupancy. Implementing a community-based “Test and Treat” pathway incorporating a Point-of-Care Test (POCT) offers a practical and scalable approach to reducing patient deterioration and avoiding unnecessary hospitalisation. By providing rapid\, on-the-spot results\, POCT enables medical professionals to distinguish between viral and bacterial infections\, support appropriate prescribing decisions\, and initiate timely treatment. Through close collaboration between industry\, the Health Innovation Network and the NHS\, these diagnostic tests can be effectively deployed in community settings\, supporting the NHS’s shift toward preventive\, proactive\, and locally delivered care. This approach not only transforms care delivery\, but also strengthens system resilience during periods of high demand. \nOur speaker\nDavid Linden_small\nDr David Linden BEng\, PhD\, MBA\, CEng\, FIMechE\nDr David Linden brings over 30 years of senior leadership experience across research\, product development\, marketing\, and commercial strategy in healthcare. In his current respiratory roles with the Health Innovation Network\, he leads cross-organisational initiatives spanning industry and the NHS\, to assess the real-world impact of innovations on patients and the healthcare system\, finding the most promising solutions for national NHS adoption programmes. With a proven track record in invention and business development\, David is driven by a passion for identifying and accelerating game-changing innovations that tackle the NHS’s toughest challenges\, stimulate economic growth\, and deliver measurable improvements in patient outcomes.
