Consultancy and advice

At Health Innovation Oxford and Thames Valley (HIOTV) we offer a range of consulting and advisory services to support companies in navigating and accessing the NHS market. With strong expertise in real world evaluation, health economics, market access, and patient and public involvement, we are well-placed to help you articulate and demonstrate the value of your innovation to NHS stakeholders. 

Our services are designed to meet the diverse needs of companies at various stages of market entry, offering support in: 

• Real world evaluation – We can design and deliver robust real world evaluation programmes tailored to a partner’s evidence needs and go-to-market strategy. 

• Health economics and NHS market access strategy – We provide tailored strategies to help your products meet NHS cost-effectiveness requirements, aligning with real world outcomes. 

• Patient and public involvement (PPI): We have a proven track record in supporting innovators and industry to engage with patients and the public, helping to ensure that patient needs and preferences are understood and that impacts on patient outcomes and experience can be incorporated into development and implementation. 

• Workforce engagement – Ensuring successful adoption often requires strong workforce engagement. We can support in designing and delivering training programmes that resonate with NHS staff and deliver the change needed to support adoption and spread. 

• Pathway redesign – We offer support to redesign and streamline care pathways around specific innovations, ensuring your innovation integrates smoothly within existing NHS frameworks. 

• Systematic reviews – Our team conducts comprehensive systematic reviews to provide robust evidence of your innovation’s efficacy and relevance within the NHS. 

We have a strong portfolio of industry case studies demonstrating how our support has been instrumental in innovators securing funding, NICE approval and, in several cases, national adoption and spread.  

If you’re looking to discuss partnering opportunities or would like to explore how we can support your market access needs, we would be delighted to set up a call and discuss how our tailored services can accelerate your innovation’s success within the NHS.
