Partnership with ABHI places Birmingham at the forefront of healthtech innovation

ABHI logo

A new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between BHP and the Association of British HealthTech Industries (ABHI) will see us work collaboratively to unlock innovation, accelerate research translation, and improve health outcomes across one of the UK’s most diverse regions. 

The partnership will also provide a more coordinated route for industry to access world-leading expertise, infrastructure and patient insight, enabling medical technologies to be developed and evaluated at scale and pace.

Pilot shows potential to cut costs and improve care in deprived areas

A BHP Evaluation Service study

New BHP research suggests that integrating health and early years support could ease pressure on NHS services while delivering better outcomes for families. A detailed assessment of the Sparkbrook Children’s Zone (SCZ) in Birmingham found indications that integrating health care with early years and family support in deprived communities may be a cost-effective alternative to standard primary care.
