Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. \n  \nJoin the second of our two-part CPD accredited virtual workshops\, Is your Business Case NHS Ready?\, delivered by the East Midlands Academic Health Science Network (EMAHSN). \nThe challenge as innovators and companies selling to the NHS is often that when you have a product that improves patient outcomes and saves cost you still cannot get it adopted by the NHS.
