Practical NHS insight for pharma, medtech, diagnostics and device teams who need to understand what the NHS is really trying to solve - and how to position their work so it lands.
Embedded Edge is a free insight programme from Scott McKenzie, created to help commercial and market access teams move beyond product conversations and start thinking in pathways.
Each month, Scott breaks down one of the major shifts happening inside the NHS and shows you what it means in practice.
This month’s focus is The Left Shift - one of the most talked about, and least understood, changes in the NHS.
