“The aims of the NIHR Healthcare Technology Co-operatives (HTCs)
are to:
• act as a catalyst for NHS “pull” for the development of new
medical devices, healthcare technologies and technologydependent interventions
• focus on clinical areas and/or themes of high morbidity which
have high potential for improving quality of life of NHS patients
and improving the effectiveness of healthcare services that
support them
• work collaboratively with patients and patient groups, charities,
industry and academics.”
