Assessing Real and Perceived Barriers to Innovative Medical Practice (360G-Wellcome-205566_Z_16_Z)

£35,738

This scoping exercise is to explore perceived barriers to clinical innovation in medical practice. This important area has recently been brought into sharp focus by Lord Saatchi’s Medical Innovation Bill, as well as government initiatives such as the Innovation Pathway for NHS Products and the Early Access to Medicines Scheme. It became clear from a Department of Health consultation that no research had been conducted into what barriers to innovation exist, or are perceived to exist by health professionals. The award would support the running of five focus groups to ascertain what doctors themselves see as barriers to the use of responsible innovative practices, and how they might be removed without compromising patient safety. The findings will underpin a bid for a larger, more comprehensive international project which will fully explore in detail real and perceived barriers to innovation. Key goals include building an evidence base identifying barriers and constraints to innovation, and whether these differ between or are specific to certain specialties. We also aim to establish a network of potential participants for the larger project, as well as strengthening our ability to collaborate and work as a team using a smaller, more manageable data set.
