Medical Device Market Access

Medtech commercialisation: your expert-led journey to global markets

We are on a mission to ensure that medical technologies are available to the patients who need them, whilst meeting the needs of the healthcare environment.

We work in expert-led partnerships with innovators across the healthcare sector, providing commercialisation strategy, evidence synthesis and analysis, and value demonstration services, supporting the journey from R&D to market.

If you find yourself asking any of these questions, we can help:

  • We have our CE mark, what should we do next?
  • How do we get funding?
  • How does my product align with national policy objectives?
  • What is the right approach for optimal access and reimbursement?
  • What evidence do we need to show that our product is both viable and brilliant?
  • Who do I need to talk to in health systems? What are their challenges and what are they looking for?
  • How can we clearly and consistently communicate the unmet need our innovation resolves?
  • How can we defend against competitors?
  • What is an appropriate pricing strategy?
  • What do local reimbursement considerations mean for my product and pricing strategy?
  • How do we sell our innovation to healthcare systems?

Market access for Medtech

Bringing a Medtech innovation to market, be it a device, diagnostic or digital solution, offers both opportunities and challenges. Above all, it is essential to demonstrate that the technology provides clinical and economic value and has a place in treatment pathways alongside, or in preference to, other products.

The route to market for Medtech varies between healthcare systems and product types, and it is crucial to understand the considerations for access and the market landscape relevant to your product.

In England, for example, a technology may be submitted for consideration in NICE’s Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme (MTEP) and potentially routed to medical technologies guidance, diagnostics guidance, or Medtech innovation briefings.

To discuss the opportunities for your innovation with our experts, get in touch using the form below.
