Thanks to Curia Ben Howlett for inviting me to participate in a panel at such an insightful event last night, discussing how to encourage more research and subsequently, a larger number of great UK innovations in health and social care. James O'Shaughnessy was, as usual, a knowledgeable and engaging Chair, probing the speakers and audience to dive deep into the issues and suggest solutions. Samantha Roberts' frank update on what NICE - National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is doing to improve its already robust systems and further accelerate innovation was very welcome; she was honest about the challenges and pushbacks, and that these changes will take time but I have no doubt that things are moving in the right direction. My fellow panelists Lindsey Hughes, Helen Dent and Sheuli Porkess articulated clearly the challenges and opportunities in the clinical trial / research landscape, and provided useful suggestions on how to improve and build on the work already being done. Professor Peter Johnson, Geoff Hall and Arun Sujenthiran MD also provided interesting insights into how data is being and can be better used to tackle cancer. One big takeaway for me was that the UK needs to reframe how it looks at profitability and acknowledge that there is a cost to everything, so why shouldn’t there be a subsequent benefit to the ones outlaying that cost in the first instance? I am not saying that allowing unrestrained profits is the way forward but there needs to be an open debate on what is in it for both the private companies investing their time and energy, and the UK health system (and economy) in working with them.
