How we work with the NHS
We develop and validate our technology with a number of NHS partners on an ongoing basis.
From the beginning, PreSize™ Neurovascular has been designed in close collaboration with interventional neuroradiologists at multiple NHS Trusts.
Collaborations
St George’s University Hospitals
Leeds Teaching Hospitals
Royal Preston Hospital, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals
National Hospital for Neurology and Neuroradiology. University College London Hospitals
NHS study
PreSize™ Neurovascular will be rolled out across selected NHS Trusts in early 2020 in a pilot clinical study to demonstrate how it impacts neurovascular intervention. In the study, real-world evidence will be collected to demonstrate the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of using PreSize™ Neurovascular in practice. Expected results include: more precise stent placement, reduced planning and surgery times, improved patient outcomes.
Patient and public involvement: NHS patients
Putting people at the heart of healthcare is an integral aspect of our approach to supporting clinical decision-making. We want to see patients everywhere be able to access cutting-edge health technology.
Oxford Heartbeat has an active Patient Advisory Board consisting of three patient members. The Board meets twice a year to discuss key decisions and explore the potential for using PreSize™ technology in particular patient cases. The Board also provides input into our strategy and clinical trial design.
