TY  - JOUR
AB  - The UK’s National Health Service is widely held to be lagging behind the healthsystems of other countries in its innovativeness. In particular, there is said to be a “technologydeficit” in certain clinical areas, such that patients are unable to access the latest drugs or medicaldevices. Moreover, the UK conducts world-leading research in health-related sciences andhas a globally competitive pharmaceutical industry and sizeable medical technology sector, yetthere have been persistent concerns about the translation of this research into products that canbe commercialized. The last 15 years have seen successive attempts to rectify this situation andimprove the flow of health care innovations into practice. In addition, the importance of organizationalinnovation to improve productivity and clinical, quality, and safety performance hasbeen recognized. This is becoming more urgent given the need to meet the challenges of risingdemand for health care at a time of increasingly constrained resources. This review discussesthe changing landscape of policy and other interventions that have been put in place to tacklethe factors that inhibit health care-related innovation in the UK.
