Netherlands & US show the approach improves sustainability & leads to
better outcomes

provider collaboration and on commissioning for ~4-5 Mill Citizens

17. Engaging ICO’s & NHS
• If you want to do business with the NHS – your local AHSN is an early port of
call
• Before you engage with the NHS/AHSNs – conduct your own honest
appraisal of your innovative product
• Ask yourself – in the context of the NHS & Healthcare, is this product
Safer
Better
Faster
Cheaper Cost Effective
• The more of these boxes you can tick, the more likely your pitch will
succeed
19. You will be in front of Very Senior People - FD/CFO, Director, Clinical
Each with an agenda, and probably not the same one!
This is where your investment in opportunity “Due Diligence” – pays out
Purchasers and investors are “buying” the company & team as well as the product
Work to the time you have – be brief & to the point
A 5 minute video will seem like 5 hours in the arena – do you REALLY need it?
Make sure what you have to say is
Relevant
Answers the exam question being wrestled with
Hooks & Levers – compelling (value) propositions
Cost reduction
Demand management,
Income Generation
Improving Workflow
Integration
How long will it take for the investment in your product to make a return / pay themselves
In Year savings
Cash releasing
So you’re in front of the ACO/ICS “buyers”…what next?
20. • Clarity – Have a clear focus– know what your “ask” is
• Understand - the Needs & Priorities of the NHS around your innovation
• Avoid the hard sell –understand what is in it for the NHS, Patients, Citizens
• Long Game – AHSNs can vastly speed up adoption by removing barriers
• Patient & controlled approach
• Co-create – the solution to the perceived problem you believe your innovation solves for the NHS:
• Engage & Partner rather than Tell or Sell

Relationships are fundamental
You will be more successful where strong relationships exist
True relationships should be about long term strategic partnerships
Consider the strength of existing relationships as part of your qualification when considering whether to bid or not
Don’t be complacent, relationships have to be worked at and don’t be afraid to push if the commissioner isn't pulling
Once a relationship is established the communication phase and on-going management of the relationship (contract) is key even if it feels like you are pushing up hill.
We know that historically the NHS is very poor in the communication phase – this as to change with CPM now high profile at the centre
Be proactive
Getting something going like the AF collaborative required a lot of people from big business to work together and to convince the NHS to work with them… how can it be done?
Key Documents, Respect the time you get
I thought I worked hard in the pharma industry, but the Innovation Agency, and in fact All NHS Organisations are incredibly busy. I really appreciate it when people who visit me understand this. They come prepared, They know what I do – I don’t mind people checking me out on Linked in, that is what it is for. They have some knowledge of the National agenda
They know about my business plan and what I am trying to achieve.
They also know what the major NHS organisations on my patch are trying to achieve….
They don’t treat me as their learning source. You know your stuff and get to the point
You follow up on actions and support me to do mine!
