Last week’s Spending Review delivered a bold signal of intent from the UK Government: the NHS is central to economic recovery – and technology, innovation, and skills are key to its transformation. 👇
🔹 £29 billion to “get the NHS back on its feet and fit for the future”
🔹 Up to £10 billion earmarked for technology and digital transformation
🔹 Investment in GP training, urgent dental access, and mental health support in schools
As the voice of the life sciences and medtech sector in the Midlands and East of England, Medilink Midlands welcomes this significant commitment to modernising healthcare.
Melanie Davidson, CEO of Medilink Midlands, commented:
This is the clearest sign yet that innovation and partnership will shape the future of our NHS. The £10 billion commitment to technology and digital transformation is a landmark opportunity—not just for the health service, but for the life sciences and medtech innovators working tirelessly to improve care.
At Medilink Midlands, we stand ready to help our members and partners harness this momentum—translating investment into real-world solutions that strengthen the NHS and benefit patients across the UK.
