NHS Confederation and the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) have launched guidance ‘Accelerating transformation: how to develop effective NHS-industry partnerships.’
Warmly welcomed by Health Innovation Network, it explores how collaboration and partnership can support the delivery of NHS priorities and enable the ‘triple win’ of improved patient outcomes, more efficient use of NHS resources and evidence of impact for industry.
The guidance recognises the potential of cross sector partnerships to accelerate health system transformation and understand that the transformation is still to be fully realised. Now England has formally integrated health and care across primary, secondary and social care, it should be more possible to make a step change in the scale and ambition of cross sector collaboration.
It references Health Innovation Networks as “an important conduit to streamline processes of setting up system-level partnerships aligned to system priorities.”
The guidance brings together several years of expertise from industry and system leaders to understand the realities of these partnerships and how to unblock barriers.
It includes practical, step-by-step guidance to help NHS and industry develop, contract, implement, measure partnerships more easily, and deliver the benefits more rapidly. It also includes recommended frameworks that can be used by any NHS organisation.
Explore the library of NHS-Industry partnership case studies sharing a plethora of examples of how collaboration and partnership can support the delivery of NHS priorities.
