Real World Evaluation Competition 2024 - Now Open

Health Innovation Wessex: Real World Evaluation Competition 2024 

Closing date: 09:00am Wednesday 18 September

Do you need evidence of impact in a real world setting?

The Real World Evaluation (RWE) Competition 2024 is awarding an independent RWE undertaken by Health Innovation Wessex Insight team to two successful innovators. 

Undertaking real world evaluation of the impact of an innovation, and its implementation in practice, is a vital part of the pathway towards adoption-readiness for a health innovation. Even once an innovation can demonstrate that it functions, the adoption needed to support economic growth is often limited by evidence of impact. A real world evaluation can fill this gap. 

Health innovation networks are commissioned by the Office for Life Sciences (OLS) to support economic growth in the health and life science sectors. Through this commissioned work we are able to offer this evaluation at no cost to the innovators. 

"Working with the HIW team throughout the RWE has been a very positive experience. The outcomes [of the RWE] were everything we could have hoped for, expertly and independently highlighting the transformative potential of our product."  Paul Whittle, Market Access Manager, Pentax Medical 

“The evaluation has helped quantify the impact of iQAAPS and has helped embed it as part of ongoing assurance activity in aseptic pharmacies in England and Wales. The evaluation has been used to expand the reach to other UK regions and also paved the way as a model for similar initiatives, notably in wider pharmaceutical and estates and facilities settings.” Paul Kaye, Business Development Director, QuiqSolutions
