The NIHR Surgical MedTech Co-operative will build expertise and capacity in the NHS to develop new medical technologies

Our physics and engineering work stream benefits from access to EPSRC networks

The pathology work stream boasts the largest clinical academic pathology department in the UK and are leaders in pathological assessment of surgical quality

Our clinical trials work stream has contributed to improved surgical outcomes and healthcare efficiency through its research in minimally invasive surgery.

The health economics work stream has particular expertise in health economic evaluations of tests and devices..

Funding available for proof-of-concept studies via open competition funding calls

Our Surgical Technology Testbed offers a rapid and affordable route to early and late phase evaluation of surgical technologies

The MedTech Foundation Programme enables students from different scientific disciplines to get involved in cutting edge biotechnology research

Patients and the public make a difference by making sure surgical innovation is focussed on patient and clinical needs from an early stage

We are one of 11 MICs funded by the NIHR to act as a centre of expertise that focuses on clinical areas of high morbidity and unmet need for NHS patients

“After the closure of the NIHR MIC scheme on 31 March 2024, we are completing projects and will be closing this site by 30 September 2024. Find out more about the new NIHR HealthTech Research Centres on the NIHR website.”
