SUMMARY:Virtual Global Expert Program: Jennifer Head
DESCRIPTION:​This session will explore how innovators can develop a credible and practical strategy for entering the NHS market. \n​While many companies focus heavily on regulatory approval and clinical evidence\, successful NHS adoption depends on a much broader set of commercial\, operational\, and system-level factors. \n​Drawing on real-world experience supporting MedTech innovators\, we will explore: \n\n​How NHS decision-making works across clinicians\, commissioners\, procurement teams\, and integrated care systems\n​The different commercial pathways into the NHS and how to determine which is most appropriate for your technology\n​Why strong clinical evidence alone is rarely enough to drive adoption\n​Common strategic mistakes innovators make when approaching the NHS market\nHow to realistically assess whether the NHS represents a viable and scalable commercial opportunity
