Northern regions and their cities are showcasing the potential for innovation-led growth, but persistent barriers remain. Fully unlocking the economic growth of the North relies on building on its existing strengths in health research and innovation. www.thenhsa.co.uk/events/labou... 1/2

Great to see a focus on the Northern Health Science Alliance in a new article from NorthernLife🔊 As the article states, and we have shown throughout our work, "the problem isn't the lack of knowledge" but how focus, and funding, is distributed. Read here: northernlifemagazine.co.uk/why-science-...

“The challenge is no longer invention, it is adoption and implementation.” In a new blog, Helen Cole, Executive Lead for Health Technologies and Evaluation, discusses the main theme from #HLTHEurope: not what health technology there is, but how innovations can be used for patients and at scale.

Across HLTH Europe 2026, the message was clear: the barrier is no longer innovation itself, but whether health systems are ready to use it.
