And as a county with a passion for innovation and continuous improvement, Buckinghamshire can provide the perfect launch pad to get innovative health and social care products or services off the ground.
The authorities in Buckinghamshire are fully committed to providing an open model of innovation in line with clinical strategy, a unique space for academic and commercial research, skilled clinical staff to support and test commercial healthcare solutions, and a willingness to deploy commercially-viable products, procedures or pathways that will benefit the health and social care field.
