INNOVATION CENTRE SECURES £1.3m FUNDING
Buckinghamshire Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership has agreed to provide £1.3m in capital funds to the new Buckinghamshire Life Sciences Innovation Centre.
It will support the development of products and innovations including medical devices, digital apps, virtual reality, 3D printing and robotics.
The project is led by the Buckinghamshire Life Sciences Partnership which brings together five organisations committed to encouraging innovators across industry, university and the NHS. They are:
- Oxford AHSN
- Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
- Buckinghamshire New University
- Buckinghamshire County Council
- Chiltern Clinical Commissioning Group
Lou Patten, Accountable Officer for NHS Aylesbury Vale and Chiltern Clinical Commissioning Groups, said: "Innovation in healthcare is absolutely essential to allow us to deliver the best outcomes for our patients. It helps our services to operate more efficiently and effectively and will potentially offer more ways to help prevent the onset of long-term conditions such as heart disease, supporting patients to live well for longer."

Oxford AHSN to help industry and innovators trade with EU countries
The Oxford AHSN Clinical Innovation Adoption (CIA) programme has secured €248,000 funding from the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) Health to deliver a comprehensive “one stop” information point for industry and innovators seeking to trade in EU countries.
The aim is to bring together in a single place key aspects of a country’s healthcare market, including market structure, regulation, how to provide a meaningful value proposition and reimbursement.
Tracey Marriott, Oxford AHSN's Director of Clinical Innovation Adoption, said: "The importance of finding ways to accelerate rapid market penetration of innovations, products and services and of working together has never been more pressing."
