Accessing the Global Network
As publishers of Healthcare World Magazine and organisers of the Healthcare World Festival, we’ve worked in nearly 40 countries around the world and created high level networks of contacts with Governments, providers, regulators, suppliers, clinicians and consultants across their health systems. Allied to that, we’ve developed a deep and in-depth knowledge of these systems, their payor structures, procurement policies, healthcare needs and, most importantly, the opportunities that exist within their health economies.
Our experienced team is led by Managing Director Steve Gardner who has supported UK companies to enter new global markets from his time at the UK Department for International Trade. He has worked in the private sector on projects that include helping secure $150m in loan funding
from the UK Government to the Zambian Government for an international client to build a hospital in rural Zambia, and taking a small UK digital health business into Dubai to work with the Dubai Health Authority.
Our COO and Director of Consultancy Emma Sheldon boasts an even more impressive CV, having been awarded an MBE in 2018 for services to export after taking a mid-sized, regional UK business into over 50 markets around the world. Our team has the knowledge and experience to help you take your business global. We liaise closely with you as our partners to understand your needs, aims and objectives. We work with trusted partners in market to provide the kind of deep insight, knowledge and experience locally to provide everything you need.
Entering the UKUnderstanding the NHS
The world’s only truly free-at-the-pointof-delivery health system and the world’s leading value-based health economy. The UK NHS has a global reputation for clinical excellence but is a complex and highly regulated market.
The NHS is not a single organisation, as some internationally believe, but a diverse system of individual Trusts, Clinical Commissioning Groups and Integrated Care Organisations with complex local
and national Government-funded procurement models.
The UK market offers huge opportunity, but should only be tackled with the right knowledge and partners.
Together, Healthcare World and our expert partners AdviseInc, Vuit and Bevan Brittan collaborate to help you access the UK market more effectively with the right offer and to the right people.
The Healthcare World UK Market Entry programme will help you:-
UNDERSTAND the NHS
Work with the Healthcare World consultancy team to understand the structure of the NHS, where your product or service will fit, and the level and geographies that work for you.
From the central bodies of NHS England and its comparable bodies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, through to the national bodies of NHS Digital, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, Health Education England and the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, through to the newly formed Integrated Care Systems, NHS Foundation Trusts and Clinical Commissioning Groups, the NHS is a complex and diverse organisation.
We will provide you with the map you need to navigate it.
UNDERSTAND the UK market
Through VUIT’s leading NHS data analysis tool we will provide you with the numbers around the size of your potential market. Whether it’s the numbers of patients being treated in a disease area, the size of waiting lists for a particular procedure or the number of trusts and organisations that treat a specific problem, we can provide the data.
Through AdviseInc’s spend analytics we can also tell you how much is being spent in the UK on similar or comparable products and services.
The Healthcare World UK Market Entry programme will help you:-
UNDERSTAND the Regulatory and Business Environment
Our partners at Bevan Brittan can help you understand the regulatory requirements for your product in the UK market.
For medical devices and products this could mean the Medical & Healthcare products Regulatory Authority (MHRA) or for digital health products and data you will need an understanding of the UK’s General Data Protection Register (GDPR). For a guide to these and the other regulatory requirements in the UK, as well as general advice on business setup, employment law and partnering, Bevans will provide all the answers you need.
