Digital Health UK Market Report 3ed
Martin is the Author of the third edition of the Digital Health UK Market Report published by LaingBuisson. Containing new and rebased data, the report provides the most accurate picture of the market available and gives full consideration to the impact that the pandemic has had on the adoption (or not) of different technologies, cutting through the myth to shine a light on the reality.
The report is vital reading to anyone with an interest in this emerging market, be they an investor, an advisor, a large corporate supplier, a health tech start-up, or someone working within procurement or IT within the healthcare sector.
The report offers insight into the current state of the UK healthcare sector’s digital transformation, and the potential benefits of scaling and penetrating existing proven technologies across the whole NHS. Whilst Digital Health Spending as a percentage of the overall healthcare budget has increased since 2020, we argue; is it enough to encourage a full-scale adoption of digital technology and construct a solid foundation for the NHS to build upon?
Martin and PatientSource
PatientSource was ‘born’ within the NHS by one of its front-line Drs (Watch here) but has also specialised to serve Health providers in the Independent sector, a sector Martin is renowned figure within. We look forward to continued success and winning new clients through our association with The Martin Bell Partnership.
PatientSource and I have had lots of great, positive interactions over a number years. It's really exciting to more formalise our relationship and to work with them more closely. PatientSource have evolved a modern, secure, clinician focused, UK focused electronic patient record, I'm looking forward to seeing more organisations benefit from this".
