"NHS Imposing Huge Costs on Itself" | Helen Dent | Voices of Care

The NHS is imposing "huge costs on itself" through outdated funding practices that are simultaneously draining budgets and blocking access to innovative diagnostic technologies, according to Helen Dent, Chief Executive of the British In Vitro Diagnostics Association (BIVDA), speaking on Newcross Healthcare's Voices of Care podcast with host Suhail Mirza.  In a wide-ranging conversation recorded to discuss the Government ten-year health plan and vision for Life Sciences, Dent delivered a stark assessment of how the healthcare system's approach to diagnostics—which underpins so much clinical decision making—is creating a perfect storm of wasted resources and missed opportunities.
