Research and Innovation
Our life sciences industry relies on a strong pipeline of commerciallydriven research. As a small, connected nation, we make it easy for industry to collaborate with universities and move research projects towards market readiness:
Wales is at the forefront of eHealth research and maximizes the use of routine data for research. NHS Wales allows access to anonymised healthcare data for the whole population in one database, and enables clinical trials to access three million people with a single co-ordinated permissions process.
Support programmes for Medtech & E-health development include:
- The £24m Accelerate programme led by Life Sciences Hub Wales, in collaboration with Cardiff University, Swansea University, and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David offers access to the academic expertise, and cutting-edge facilities helping innovators in Wales turn their ideas into solutions that can be adopted into health and care. https://lshubwales.com/programmes/accelerate.
- Digital Health Ecosystem Wales is a network connecting developers and companies with innovative digital health solutions with the NHS in Wales. With the aim of making it easier and faster to adopt digital healthcare technology in Wales. https://digitalhealth.wales/
