Pathway Transformation Fund Nine health systems across England have been awarded funding totalling £2.61 million through the Pathway Transformation Fund (PTF) to deliver innovative projects between October 2025 and March 2026. The PTF is funded by NHS England, with Health Innovation Oxford and Thames Valley (HIOTV) supporting delivery, to drive system-wide transformation in asthma and COPD care. The nine successful collaborations are addressing two key national priorities:
- Early and accurate diagnosis – expanding access to quality-assured spirometry and restoring diagnostic pathways.
- Risk stratification and optimisation – proactively identifying and supporting rising-risk COPD patients with integrated, equitable care.
A nationally coordinated evaluation will wrap around this work, providing a consistent evidence base, sharing learning and informing future investment. More details to follow.
