Our NHS Market Access Accelerator (MAA) is TheHill’s flagship programme which is run over a 7 month period, consisting of workshops which typically run circa once a month (mainly online, but some are in person), covering various themes and topics.
Participants can expect to learn about the different structures within the NHS and how decisions are made for the adoption of new technology within different trusts, especially Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Whilst on the programme, participants will benefit from our pool of highly qualified and experienced mentors, who will work alongside them to offer one-to-one support and help them achieve their expectations of the programme through a stage-gate process.
Companies in the programme significantly improved their market prospects and developed their business models, raised money through grants and investments, and increased their networks within the health and care sector.
Companies we have supported through the MAA have gone on to secure over £20 million in investment, roll out their technology in NHS Trusts around the country, begin pilots and gain the knowledge to optimise their solutions, giving a broader scope of transferability and revenue generation.
