Lindsay Sharples, Associate Director of Innovation and Industry Partnerships at Health Innovation North West Coast, said: “We have had a long-standing relationship with EIT Health, which has enabled us to work with many exciting healthcare start-ups and scale-ups from across Europe. Our vision is to see the best health and life science innovations from Europe get into the hands of NHS clinicians. We can help the best that Europe has to offer navigate our complex – and ever changing – healthcare landscape and explore opportunities to deploy their solutions in the UK. We are excited to continue our relationship with EIT Health through our membership of the network and look forward to what we fully expect to be a mutually beneficial partnership.”
With a focus on improving patient outcomes and driving economic growth through innovation, Health Innovation North West Coast will play a vital role in EIT Health’s collaborative initiatives, including its Think Tank thought leadership forum.
