Health and Life Sciences Business Forum

Are you a senior leader in a health or life sciences start‑up or SME based in South Gloucestershire? Join Future Leap for their next Health & Life Sciences Roundtable, where they’ll explore what it takes to engage with the NHS and the conditions that need to be in place before pursuing a pilot, including early conversations, evidence expectations and common challenges.

By joining this Forum, you’ll also become part of South Gloucestershire’s growing sector network, including a dedicated LinkedIn group where you can continue the conversation, share opportunities and stay connected with others in your field.

Cheryl Scott, Senior Programme Manager (Commercial) at Health Innovation West of England, will open with an overview of what pilot readiness looks like and how to approach NHS partners effectively.

SAH Diagnostics will then share a case study on securing NHS commissioning, drawing on their experience running pilots and working with multiple NHS trusts and ICBs. They’ll also outline their move into community healthcare through mobile diagnostic units supporting conditions such as prostate cancer.

This event will use a roundtable format, giving attendees space to bring their ideas, challenges and questions into the room and explore them with peers and sector experts.

This event offers South Gloucestershire start ups and SMEs the chance to connect, learn and shape the conversation by exploring what it takes to engage with the NHS and the conditions that need to be in place before pursuing a pilot, including early conversations, evidence expectations and common challenges.

This session is designed for founders, CEOs, COOs, CTOs, Heads of R&D, Clinical Directors and Business Development leads working in biotech, digital health, diagnostics and preventative care.
