KSS AHSN’s market access services have been developed through close working with companies and NHS organisations, drawing on many years of experience of innovation adoption in the NHS complemented by experience of product and pathway development.

In short, we help bridge the gap between industry and the health and care system.

WHERE TO BEGIN – FOR THE NHS

To enable us to help NHS and social care organisations we need an up to date understanding of priorities and constraints which might affect uptake of innovation. Through our regular contacts with clinicians and managers in providers and commissioners, we gain an understanding about their needs and issues which we can share with companies.

These contacts also enable us to check with staff about their views on the technologies, products and services we offer them.

WHERE TO BEGIN – For companies

Starting with an initial meeting, each stage of the process builds on the previous. For the later stages we will need to understand in detail how your product or service will impact on services, your ambitions and how you have set your expectations.

Only companies with realistic expectations, affordable products or services that match NHS priorities, and a clear market access strategy will be able to progress to the final stages of the services we offer.

Each stage of the process is described in detail in the pages below and in our brochure. Alternatively our 90 second video gives you a quick summary!
