NIHR HealthTech Research Centres (HRCs)
NIHR HealthTech Research Centres (HRCs)
NIHR HealthTech Research Centres (HRCs) are centres of excellence located in leading NHS organisations across England. They accelerate the development of healthcare technologies across industry, academia and the NHS to improve the effectiveness and quality of health and care services.
They do this by helping medical device, digital technology, diagnostics and in vitro diagnostics companies (collectively known as HealthTech) to develop, evaluate and validate new health innovations to address healthcare challenges. This includes help to generate evidence and demonstrate financial value (health economics) or improve operational efficiency in the NHS (real-world evidence generation).
HRCs also help non-life science companies that are working on solutions, such as software developers and digital companies, looking for partners in the NHS to develop and evaluate in the health and care setting.
