Healthcare

We have a successful track record in medical engineering, from concept generation, through design analysis to delivery of working prototypes.

At this challenging time, we would like to acknowledge the inspirational and tireless efforts of all those working to save lives in the healthcare system and its supply chain.

At Frazer-Nash, we are keen to play our part. We have a successful track record in medical engineering, from concept generation, through design analysis to delivery of working prototypes. Recently, we have supported the programme to deliver additional ventilators as part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We provide comprehensive digital transformation services to help meet the aspirations of the NHS Long Term Plan for innovative use of new digital technologies that enable greater integration and efficiencies in delivery of health and social care services.

Diverse health and medical engineering capability

Our diverse engineering, digital and advisory capability is well matched to the demanding multidisciplinary requirements of our clients. Our systems thinking, independent approach enables us to provide strategic advice that makes a difference to real world challenges:

  • We support digital transformation, ensuring that digital architectures are well conceived, and systems developed in an ‘open’ way that ensures interoperability
  • Using our advanced modelling and analysis techniques we help clients improve processes - adding value through time and cost reduction in health care product development and manufacture, and optimisation of care pathways
  • Our health and medical engineers can reduce the time needed for prototype design and development
  • With our knowledge of the health sector, coupled with our problem solving skills and expertise in engineering, we are ideally placed to help clients prepare tenders for funding applications
  • By blending our technical and commercial acumen, we can provide technical due diligence and investment advice to venture capitalists and sponsors of novel technology.
