The NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in Emergency and Acute Care transforms emergency care by driving the commercial development of health technologies (HealthTech). HealthTech informs clinical decision making, improves diagnosis and optimises treatments ensuring patients get the right care, in the right place, at the right time.

The HRC in Emergency and Acute Care will drive the progression of novel health technologies through the innovation pathway to patient benefit, working with innovators to co-develop technologies and generate the evidence required to achieve adoption in the health and care system at pace and scale. In doing this we will ensure the HealthTech we develop is sustainable and beneficial to all communities, to deliver equitable access to healthcare and ultimately improve public health and wellbeing for all.
